    Default My first SR just came in.

    Just got my first real str8 in today and I can't wait to use it. I'm just a bit worried about using it today. I'm fighting a cold complete with sneezing and coughing. But until the moment comes I'll be eagerly anticipating its virgin use.

    Coughing and sneezing uncontrollably while using a straight for the first time may not be the best idea...lol. Congrats on your first blade and good luck with the first shave

    Yeah it has me a bit worried. I'm going to wait it out a bit until this goes away some. Until then I'll stick to the shavette. At least that can't cut too deep.

    Plenty of fluids and rest.

    Then enjoy your first "real" shave!

    Wanted to update. I broke down and shaved anyway. Had a mostly full beard just trimmed up a bit. And below is an after from my first straight shave. No nicks no burn. Cut wonderfully.
