I don't have enough experience yet to give you any firsthand insight, but I thought I'd mention what I've heard. (Can anyone else on SRP either affirm or debunk this?)

Cheers!
We all learn together don't we? No one is born an expert. Thanks for the reply as well. ^_^ This really helps me.

PS: I don't know anyone that straight shaves, so I wish I could 'borrow', but from who? Thanks again.
