Thanked: 4When you are starting out, nicks are to be expected, even with a traditional straight and starting out, you may most likely end up nicking yourself while you learn this new form of shaving, which is completely different to the old one where you put a 20 blade cartridge shaver to your face and it does all the work.
As for the angle and the touch it does matter. Having a correct angle means you are less likely to nick yourself, and a light touch helps when you don't get the right angle and nick yourself, it won't be too deep.
I occasionally shave with a disposable blade straight when I am in a hurry coz it saves time. Now that I am more experienced, I no longer nick myself.
Straight shaving takes time and patience.
