Went to bed and kept myself awake faceturbating. I still look well shaved, and still feel pretty damned smooth. I love straight razor shaving.
Thanks Ray,
Yes, used a tripod, light source from the right very low. Took several under different conditions, like the colors on this one.
Have great shave.

First ever straight shave;
Dovo 5/8 Silver Steel Ebony
EJ Best Badger Brush (the one that's all the rave over at B&B)
Dr. Harris Arlington Soap
10 cuts, mainly due to;
No prep, I was an idiot and lathered directly on my dry face (dunno why I did it, was in a hurry to try the straight) :D
Semi-dull razor, it tugged at the whiskers quite a lot.
Haphazard shave, didn't really do it in any specific order or nothing, which isn't normal for me either.
The only new thing was the bloody razor, and it messed up my whole routine that I had down with the Mach3. Tomorrow I'll get up damned early and I think I'm gonna limit myself to the cheeks, and I'm gonna do it post shower, with 2 hot towels, in 3 different passes! I'm also gonna do it in half-centimeter strokes. :)
I also have a bottle of T&H Pre-Shave oil, since I liked the effect of the AoE oil I tried earlier, and a styptic pencil on order as of today, I'm probably getting it by friday! :)
Well, after yesterdays test shave of the J.Wostenholm & Sons it is going back to its country of origin :)
This morning I pulled out one of my favorite Henckels.
