hello again!

so, as i said in my last post, i cut myself up pretty good with my first sraight shave attempt. i'm not too worried about it because my fiance is already stuck with my ugly mug (haha).
i wanted to just talk real quick about my post shave experience. after my shave, my face was pretty raw. i think i took pretty much ALL the epidermis off. followed it up with a good rinse, then my aftershave and face cream. for an aftershave i am using burt's bees for men (my lady loves the scent) and an avalon's gate face cream. woke up this morning and the face that had been raw and burning all night, now felt great. i also used another avalons gate product, their peppermint hand lotion on my head(that one feels awesome for shaved heads!)
as i said, felt great this morning. when i chew up my face with my mach 3, it takes a couple of days to feel good again, plus take care of razor bumps. i had no razor bumps and i think ill be ready to try again tomorrow.
just seems like the skin takes lees time to heal with a straight. anyone had this experience too?

thanks all for the great posts!!!
