This is the video I used to master straight shaving. I have watched it literally hundreds of times and the way I do it is based on it. My favorite shaving video by far.

I shave topless, but I like some sort of protection on my lower half incase I drop the razor, I don't wear shoes, as I doubt the razor would amputate a toe.
As for cleaning my razor during the shave, I strop it on the little finger side of the palm of my off hand.
I don't always shave but when I do I prefer to leave my shirt off... stay shirtless my friends
Its a really good video, his shaving technique is very good, but his lather is very weak........
I like the sponge idea and may use that, I probably should stretch more but at only 2 mos. in I'm just trying to avoid too much blood loss and still get a nice shave.
always shirtless, always been kind of messy shaving
