I find that very funny coming from a straight shaver! I started with DEs but mostly use a straight now and you have nothing to worry about. Dial it down to 1 or 2 and see how that goes. It's very mild at that setting. I find that 5 or 6 on mine gives about the closeness feel of a straight. The slim is a great razor and one of the best Gillette made. $4 is a great buy as good condition usually go for $25+
