My razors are here so I'm planning my first straight shave tomorrow (and yes they came in shave ready off of the classifieds here).

So I held one in my hand just to get the feel for it and for some reason it made me real nervous. Just looking at that thin slice of metal that could easily slit me open. I'm getting sweaty hands and knot in my stomach just thinking about it.

Tomorrow morning is my first go! I plan on only doing the cheek down to jawline area....send some steady hand thoughts my way.

Just curious...has anyone died doing this before that we know of?
