I often keep my DE (Merkur or old Gillette) handy for the odd day that the str8 and I don't mesh...although lately I think it needs some honing too so...I'm getting a box ready to send to the honemeisters here...the chin is still giving me fits so I might grow my goatee back...

My contribution.

- Mis en place. Make you sure you have everything you need out and put in a specific place before you start. When you pick something up and you put it down for any reason you put it back exactly where you got it from.

If your way of shaving serves you well - you are doing nothing wrong.

Rules are for fools.

Sounds oh so obvious, but I made the mistake a couple of times early on.

OH MY GOD!! This is only obvious in hindsight, to which I can attest most vociferously! Newbies!! Pay attention to this line!!!

I would guess that many of us have also made this fundamental error in technique - I know I have

Oh, God, there's one that should make the transition to Frankenstein looks pretty quick. That and a bit of Wagner.

...I think it was Chopin that did the "Minute Waltz"...lol

I absolutely totally agree with the one that says you must give the shave 100% concentration...if you don't, you will pay! I know, I have the scar or three to prove it!
