I am glad that I have joined this forum. Thank you for all the useful inputs. Now I am more comfortable to pick my first straight razor.

I did learn to apply "no pressure" with my safety razor, but I have to admit, when whiskers in more tricky areas won't go away in 3rd pass, I tend to apply pressure. I know I can't let that happen with a straight razor.

I use after shave product to relief my sensitive skins from razor burn, and I think I'm adding pre shave oil into the equation as well.
