I have been shaving about once a week for about ten weeks now with a straight razor (a Thiers Issard 5/8"). Today was the first time I succeeded with a full face shave without cutting myself. The finish isn't the best and I am sure can be improved but at last I feel I am getting somewhere. I was more relaxed and confident than I have been previously, which I am sure helped.
Congratulations on your nick free shave! :beer1: Here's to many more!!
Congratulations!! It only gets better from here. I would try to shave more than once a week with the straight if you can. It will help develop muscle memory and technique. I do understand that busy shedules sometimes don't allow the time necessary to do so.

Just don't be too confident or relaxed you will nick yourself
Congrats! Its a good feeling, edinit?
I did it :D that's what I said.
Now you got to go for the streak my best so far is 3 no cut shaves in a row.
Congrats
