Thread: Some guidance please

I say give it a go. I'm 62 and have a slight shake as well. I go back and forth between DE and STR8, and I would say if you can use a DE you can shave with a STR8.

It is a little freaky to bring that exposed blade to your face the first time, but if you go slow and just start with the easy parts first you'll soon relax and I think the shakes will go away or won't be much of a problem. You have to learn not to pause with the blade sitting on your face. Any shake or jerk will cut you. If you stop to think about what to do next get the blade away from your face. I rarely cut myself when I'm actually shaving. It's those pauses that get me.

Let us all know how it goes.
