Don'ts of Straight Shaving
Don't:
Go fast
Lose focus
Shave dry patches
Try to do too much in your first shaves
Try to grab a falling blade
You will do all of these things and when you do you will receive a lesson.

Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

Er, 'someone I know' was having a good few beers one evening and looking at SRP, brought a straight over the net and thought it was a good time to celebrate the fine purchase and have a shave. After selecting a nice Joseph Rodgers (pre stropped) proceeded with a very shaky 1st pass, 2nd pass going well till: oops nice little nick and Mr Rodgers on the floor with his own little nick! Lesson learnt! Originally Posted by edhewitt
