    Talking Busted my Cherry

    Just had my first attempt at using a straight!!!!

    Probably broke all the rules...but now a nice smooth cheek

    It was only with a Wahl disposable, some shaving cream I had lying about and a quick prayer!!!

    OMG!!! I think I am addicted

    now all you have to do is acquire about 10-15 blades and several shaving creams, lots of aftershaves and everything will be just fine. (don't laugh, just wait and see, this thing becomes addictive.) you will find the best bunch of people here that are willing to help you in anyway you may need...good luck

    +1, no rules. Get to the finish line in one piece. The 'rules' are an aid to get you there as you are learning, reduce the learning curve and minimize the blood.

    Good luck!
