    Welcome. Glad you got a good start. I too had a good first shave. It went good and bad for a while till i figured out what works the best for me. A wet lather really helps. A Soapy thick layered lather is not always the best. I find more water helps my shaves a lot. Keep the angle low. One or two spine widths only from skin and no pressure. Enjoy the shaves and ask any questions you might have.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    The tips and advices on Staight Razor Place help me a lot too. But there are too many things to think and remember while shaving with a straight. I guest that with more pratice and mistakes I will develop some "automatic" skills.

    You wiill learn your face and the direction your beard grows better, but it will be a while before some things become automatic. Go slow and pay attention and you will learn more with each shave. Congratulations on the first shave success!
