New from New Zealand
Hi everyone,
I decided that it was time for me to man up and get a real razor instead of the crap I was buying from the supermarket and put a real blade against my throat. As a new Manager I have decided that I want to step up and be a man......
I did my first shave today, as an ex hairdresser I am very confident handling a blade so I decided that I would just take the plunge and shave my whole face WTG.
I loved it, shaved off my beard that I had, not that it was long, and it only took me 15 minutes.
But man it was liberating, so I have decided to try it again in the morning post my shower.
I have decided to start with disposable blades and then once I have learnt the basics and my confidence has grown, then I would go an purchase a big boy blade.

Welcome to the forum.
Many start with shavette type razors and then graduate to the true straight.
It is important that you proceed at your own pace and only do what you are comfortable in doing. There is no hurry.
There is a tremendous library for new people and a lot of experienced users ready to help.
You can start here:

Thanks guys, I will admit all last night and I've now been awake for about 15 mins and all I can think about is having a shave. This has never happened in all my life, waking up and just wanting to shave.

Haha I remember that. In the beginnining my beard couldn't grow fast enough to satisfy my shaving needs. That has passed by now though.
