When I started, I also had some issues with my hand getting in the way and blocking my vision. But as I became more comfortable with a straight, and learned how to use both hands, I don't have this problem anymore.
I'm hooked. I actually had a dream last night about lathering. The kit came with a pad of Col. Conks bay rum soap. I didn't know what the Bay rum smelled like before but I like it. It reminds me of my grandfather. I think the problems with my hand in the way can be worked around. I just need to get a technique down.
