Hi, i neglected to do this before.
So here I am, Georg, living in the Netherlands and shaving with a straight for about two weeks now.
Started with sides onley but since I had no problem doing so moved to whole face pretty quick.
Still strugling with facial acrobatics a bit but had two full face shaves now.
Only problem I have is drying up foam.
Wil have to learn how to balance soap and water better.

I like to take the time, being male I noticed we tend to not take time to take care of ourselves (at least I never did, I don't like fidling in front of mirrors and smearing stuff on my face) so I'm making this "my time".
My experience is that I am more relaxed when I take the time and it helps (almost meditative) getting that one moment of Ego-time we all need.
I can recommend it and am sure to stick with it.

Happy shaving
