Tried shaving with a straight for the first time last night. Read lots and watched videos then went for it. I shaved WTG my whole face except mustache (growing one for Movember)and it took about 30mins. Great experience, but i did to many passes and have wicked razor burn today lol.

On the corser areas like my chin area it felt like the blade was grabbing a lot and not wanting to cut the hair. I got a bunch of weepers but no nicks.

Time to lurk some more and learn.

As a side note I make custom knives as a hobby and will be trying my hand at making some straights with 1095 and damascus.
