Well - I tried my first straight on Saturday - I was pretty nervous so all I did was my cheeks and finished up with a DE. The right cheek went OK but I was not very good with the other hand so the left cheek was a bit more difficult. No Blood though.

I had planned to let it go for a few more days and just us my DE stuff till then. So today I lathered up and I just couldn't stand it I went to my room and got my straight and this time I was able to get through my whole face using just my right hand. I did the next pass with a DE.

I think I have a long way to go before I get this down.
