Woot! I shaved for the first time with my straight razor. I started slow, and did just my right sideburn with my right hand like was recommended to me, and was very comfortable with it, so I did my left side with my left hand too. Ended up being able to shave my whole face, and only nicked myself once. (it was about as bad as a papercut, stung but didn't bleed barely at all.) Overall I found the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable. I can't wait to do it again.
