Welcome to SRP!
Spending time with just yourself shaving is a great way to spend your time. I didn't realize it when I started with a straight, but I very quickly noticed the positive effect on my attitude that a 30 minute straight shave gave me. And even though my wife makes fun of me for the amount of time I spend in the bathroom now, and the fact that I have more aftershaves than she has perfumes, she has nothing but love for my smooth shaven face.

So find a mentor in your area, start shaving, and start enjoying life.
