After waiting what felt like forever, I was able to use my straight for the first time. I had my first straight shave ever yesterday. It went well, im pleased to say. I only had a few minor nicks and tiny cuts. A little cold water cleared it all up. That day I graduated, got my first real job! And after graduation I made the girlfriend very happy Just wanted to share what a great day I had and how im on my way to being a straight shaver! Id also like to thank Padron and Tony Miller for their help. Happy shaving all.
