I was just happy that I got my first comfortable shave. Actually, if anything, I am overly cautious. I shave with extreme caution. It takes me 45/50 minutes to shave in the morning...about 5 to 10 of those minutes are beard preparation.

I have a whole lot of respect for what I'm holding in my hand. I've been shaving with a straight for about 6 weeks now. I'm far from accomplished, believe me. However, I am trying different things to learn what works and what doesn't.

Today's shave was okay. Only two nice nicks on each side of my chin. I didn't know Sandalwood shave cream lathered up red! LOL. Anyway, my chin is the most difficult area for me. Just can't get comfortable shaving that area. Anyone have any advice? Thanks,

Jeff
