Not to dissuade you, but be prepared to get cut. No matter how careful you are, it's bound to happen. The good news is, any damage is typically not a big deal. Razors make clean cuts and they almost always heal nicely. I'd almost guarantee you that all the respected members here have cut themselves at least once, if not several times. By all means be careful and respect your blades, but don't be so worried that you're tense- you're more likely to cut yourself being tense. Let us know how your first shave goes It's always cool to know you've just shaved with a straight, even if it's not what you've expected it to be the first time around.

"Cut" is such an ugly word I would say you're going to get "nicked" from time to time -Gotcha!. I think you really have to not be paying attention to really cut yourself - don't get me wrong, it happens, but I didn't get my first real cuts until I got "comfortable" with the razor.

Don't worry, be careful and pay attention. You won't do too much damage.

Ok, who wants to make the joke about taking a pic before hand so the plastic surgeon knows what he looked like...
