Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm using a high art straight that's all I know about it. The first shave was ok I cut myself in my troble spots ( upper lip area, chin, and the right jaw area. ( any suggestion on how to tackle these areas? (i'm left handed too if that helps any)

Mc,
I, too, am new at this, only done it 3 times, but I'm a quick study. I found that the right jaw was a problem too, mostly because the hair changes direction there. What I found is that, after having cleared the cheek, you can stretch the skin from the cheek, pulling the jaw area onto a flatter surface, then it is easier. But where you are a south paw, you might be ok, to try pulling the nape of your neck.
As for the upper lip, I am still trying to decide which way my hair grows there. I think I have it figured out, but I find oblique motions tend to do better than straight up or down ones do, plus there's less risk of loosing your nose and lip.
Just some suggestions from one newbie to another.
