Update <Day Two>:
Shaved both left and right sides down to jaw line today...
Close shave both sides, no nicks- even navigated cleanly to sideburn/ear and goatee!

Tomorrow we'll start down the neck!

One note: on the left I tried both left and right handed... right worked pretty well. Should I force myself to use the left for awhile, or if the right works, just go with it? Thoughts?
