YEP!!!
I accept the fact that I may get cut while shaving with a str8...
Dang it all!!! I just had a really fine feeling shave BUT...
While I was focusing on using my off hand I "bumped" into my cheek..
How dumb can I be?????
NAH! It happens...

It's inevitable that I get cut...NOT badly...
AND it is happening less with each shave. I was trying out a new angle to shave a difficult area under my jaw line WITH MY OFF HAND...
I am VERY pleased with how I am including the off hand into my shaving..

I used a plain wood handle synthetic brush with a dollop of OXFORD shave cream. I suspect that OXFORD is on the lower end of the price range but I was pleased with the shave.
- No preshave material.
- Hot wash
- OXFORD cream lathered up nicely with some noname brush
- Straight razor NAGIN ESPE 6/8
- Alum block..lots of gliding with it tonight
- Corn Huskers Lotion. Use it for every shave
- Floids Italian in a spray dispenser from WalMart $0.50
- Creed ORIGINAL VETIVER EDT. In a sample vial. Just dabbed on seven areas.

Lots of experience to be gotten yet in the world of straight shaving.
I'm straight shaving more often than I DE nowadays.

I'm still lookin forward to shaving with "THE ONE" lather..be it cream or soap
