    Jack, you are Mid-Atlantic (as am I)... where abouts? >> (Nevermind... I see in the other thread you are in Delaware... that puts you a good 3 hours from me.)

    I started out doing cheeks only with a straight and the rest safety razor. Then I went to my whole face with straight, but only WTG... ATG was still with a safety razor.

    When I was getting decent shaves with the straight WTG, I started doing my whole face WTG and ATG with it. It didn't take long to get to that point, so hang in there!

    I'm tempted to do my own video and post it. I have a goatee, so I could show how I shave around that. Concerned though that if someone more experienced than me thinks I'm doing something wrong, I don't need the abuse and derision! On the other hand, I recall how nervous of the razor I was when I started. So, if my video could help just one person, then it's worth it.

    wayne394,
    Go ahead and make a video. I think the majority of the members here would be supportive of your effort and also acknowledge that there will be variations in technique.

    Why don't you post it to my FB private inbox? You may find that it has to go into the OTHER folder but I check that folder daily. FB name [ Jack Poore ] Profile photo is flared out colors with my chin in my hand. Or you may be able to attach it to a PM here? I understand not wanting the good/bad input from a video. Everyone is going to have their own comfortable technique I'd supposed having none yet myself. I've even thought of making one FIRST TIME (a virgin video) hahaha! But I only have a tablet and wouldn't know exactly how to do that. I supposed others have a camera and tripod. Thanks for input! ":-Dx jack

    Welcome to SRP Jack. Great bunch of helpful members here as you have already discovered. Not snobs at all, everyone wants you to succeed. Starting with part of your face is recommended, but hard to stick to in all the excitement. Watched a ton of videos when I started, and they definitely help. One thing I have found, no two shaved the same. Part of the fun of learning to shave with a straight I guess. Best of luck.

    Mmmm. I shaved earlier today, so I think I'll wait 3 or 4 days for a bit of growth then give it a try. I'll post the link to Youtube once it's up in a new thread! Thanks for the encouragement gents.
