I've converted all 3 of my teenage kids to DE's and my ex-brother-in-law. I've given my son a straight razor shave a few times, but he looks at shaving in general at being on par with toe-nail clipping; something that needs to be done, but as quickly and infrequently as possible.
Generally anyone that learns about my straight razor hobby thinks I'm nuts.:confused:
They just don't get it.....

well to be honest it takes a special kind of nut to enjoy putting a truely sharp piece of steel to ther throats every morning and then tell other people how much they enjoy it.:soapbox:

Im trying hard to get converts, with two prospects on the way both have asked for me to give them straight shaves but as I only have 4 weeks experiance myself I'm holding off till I have a better grasp. I would hate for their first experiance with a straight shave to be full of nicks and cuts and scare them away for life. Any tips on how shaving others differers from shaving yourself?

None to straights. My wife and a friend to DEs. As everyone else has said, people are really interested - but like in a watching "Hannibal Lecter behind the glass" sort of way.:)

None yet
I'm trying to convert a co-worker's husband. While at a party at our house, I showed him my straight shaving equipment. He is fascinated but is reluctant to take the plunge. His wife bought him a nice brush and soap for Father's Day. He works out of his home and isn't on a tight schedule so time shouldn't be an issue. He's looked at the wiki & SRP some according to his wife. I'm being patient - don't want to spook him:).
Another friend asked to watch me shave. While our wives prepared dinner, he watched me shave. I'll have to admit, I was amused when out of the corner of my eye I saw him cringe when I was going ATG on my neck. He thinks straight shaving is really cool but said that he couldn't see himself doing it every day - possibly on the weekends. Just need to get a razor in his hands...

I've gotten one, but to be honest he approached me saying he wanted to learn after he found out I used them. Didn't really take any convincing on my part.

The only person I semi-converted was the wife. Although she refuses to use it herself, I shave her every sunday.
