So I shaved with a straight for the first time on Sunday night. I was lucky or maybe ultra-careful and managed to get no cuts. But, the follow morning I did have a burn to my face that lasted the better part of the day. So too much pressure I'm guessing? Although 1.5 days of no 5 oclock shadow showing was nice!

I shaved again last night, and I must say I think I am addicted. I was, dare I say jonesing for a fix? So relaxing and such a smooth shave! I have to fight to not shave too often.

Looking forward to reading more of these forums (lurked here for a month while I debated on buying a straight) I have learned a lot from this site already.
