I wouldn't recommend it. But if that is the tool you have in your hand, you have to: 1) be cautious and RESPECT the blade but don't fear it.2) Stretch your skin-keep a steep angle and let the blade do the work. 3)Any resistance is a sign you are doing something wrong.

Provided you TAKE YOUR TIME and use short strokes, be aware of where that blade is at all times and like I just said TAKE YOUR TIME. You'll do fine.

Any tough area's where you are uncertain-DON'T shave them . Finish up with a regular disposable.

IMO, not the way I would recommend you start with a str8-but onthe other hand you will learn that a SHARP blade demands attention-but NOT fear.
THANKS I HOPE YOUR RIGHT
