    Before my first shave I sat down and asked my razor for advice and this is what it told me "never let your speed exceed your skill", I have heeded its advice and thus far my razor was right.

    Load it up with Neosporin. Avoid it in the next few shaves, however you do it. Go lengthwise on the cut as resuming.
    It will all work out.

    I think most of us have left a blood trail on our quest to master the straight. After a couple deep cuts to various fingers and one near the jugular; still not sure how the blade ended up over there, I had to remember what I instinctively knew the first time I picked up a straight. When the blade comes out, I'm at DEFCON 3. Take a deep breath, no sudden movements and as Whimpy's razor advised him...go slow and with purposeful strokes.

    Heck, if I haven't cut myself for a couple of months I do it on purpose just to remind myself of how it feels. But now, I just shave inebriated
