I have a few follow on questions for those more experienced than I (that's anyone who's shaved with a straight...ever):
I just purchased my first straight, but thanks to the miracle that is military post, I won't get it for a while.
Since I have to shave every day, have already guessed that I won't be shaving with the straight every day, for a while anyways. I currently use an M3, and go rather haphazardly over my face. I have pretty coarse hair, so a cartridge lasts about 3-4 shaves before I really must get rid of it. I also shave my head, and that takes about a shave and a half off of the blade.
Do guys have any hints that I might use specifically for my daily habit? Is one pass good enough to get through the day (grows decently quick - I get a five o'clock shadow at around 4:30)
Head shaving? I don't even look at it when I do it now, and I know which way the hair grows. Are there any other hints?
Sorry for the long post, but I've read around a lot and these are the questions that remained.
