I am about to do my first leg shave with a straight razor. I'm not scared, but I am curious. Is it necessary to have appreciable "whiskerage" to do this? I mean, I shave about every day with the "safety" razor (from which, yes, I have a big old scar!) and wonder if there is a certain amount of growth required to use a Straight? Or am I over thinking this?

Oh, and hello!
