After slowly getting into it using the tips from "First straight razor shave" (starting off with just the sideburns etc) I have finally started doing complete shaves and addicted.

I have done two now, with only minor cuts in difficult areas like the chin (stryptic pencil used).

I am still cautious about multiple passes; one WTG pass takes care of most of the hair, and then I use a SE razor (vintage everready, $5 from ebay) to take care of straggling hairs.

I am a one hand shaver (works best for me), I found a few videos on youtube about one handed straight razor shaves that helped with angles. Apparently they are posted by a member here and are on this site, but I haven;t tracked them down yet.

I'm now addicted though, and on the search for more razors to add to my collection.

Thanks so much to SRP for starting me off right.
