Hello I am new to the place and have had only shaved with a straight razor three times.
Go for it! You have already shaved three times so you have great start. It will be rewarding, my shaving time has reduced in year from over a hour to 20 minutes but I have enjoy every time I have been shaving.
You got me beat by one shave, I performed my second shave this morning.
Have already noticed some time reduction since the first shave.

On a how-long-does-it-take thread a long while back, I got some good-natured laughs about the length of my routine: at that time, about 75 minutes from stropping to clean-up. What can I say, I'm a methodical learner! But yes, things go much faster now. :)
i am at like shave 5 or 6 . Getting better at it for sure . But, the first razor i bought came "shave ready" . Then i got the bug to buy another . Bought one from ebay , shave ready, "but" the guy was litterally 4 miles from me . And what do you know. Shave ready it is . And a big difference in shave quality. Or , maybe i am just getting better at it . But after going back to the original razor , i find the new one better, sharper, cuts better , etc. anyway. My wife notices that i have less irritation now . And i am enjoying the process. And getting fewer nicks along the way.To all new comers ,keep at it . :)
