Been shaving with my straight razor for a few weeks now. Started off with just shaving my cheeks, like it was recommended. Only got one cut from putting too much pressure when I first made contact with the skin. Hurt quite a bit, but did not bleed that much fortunately. Then I moved onto shaving my neck and chin, got a couple of cuts, none too bad. There was one that did not hurt at all when it happened, but it bled quite a bit. Other than a few nicks here and there, I have been really enjoying straight razor shaving. I actually look forward to shaving now, does not feel like a chore.
The best part is that I am no longer breaking out on my neck after shaving, although this could be a combination of using kiss my face shave cream, splashing cold water on my face afterwards, and using the straight razor. The shaving cream also makes a really nice lather I find. I've used wilkinson shave soap in the blue tub and william's mug shaving soap, the kiss my face by far is the best in my experience.
Shaving with a straight razor has been extremely satisfying and I look forward to when I purchase another blade. :D
