Good luck and welcome aboard

I'll go along with that ! Start with your blade almost flat on your face . Don't press the blade into your face , let the blade "ride" on your skin . You may want to try shaving some arm or leg hair , to help you get the feel for shaving with a straight . And you might like to read Old_School's shaving journal , in the shaving section of the forum , some of it was wiped out when the server crashed , but there is still plenty of good stuff to read .
