Well tonight was the first time using a straight, my goal was to do each cheek with 2 WTG passes and then if no bleed out occurred I would finish off with my EJ 89.

-Showered Up (Face scrub with Yardley)
-Proraso Pre-Shave Oatmeal/Green Tea
-Razorock Famiglia Green Tobacco
-Boker 5/8" "King Cutter"

Everything went ok...no nicks, no cuts, no bruises in the first inning, finished off with the DE and topped off the cream with Alt-Innsbruck


The issue I had was I felt like I was blind and I could not see clearly where I was laying the blade down as the scales or my "bug eyes" was giving me hell in locating a good position to watch exactly what I was doing. I felt extremely lucky I did not hack myself as I felt I was going in blind.

Any tips? is this normal (I do have a one very dominate eye) it can't be all that.
