I missed a couple of days.
Ever since I got back from camping on sunday I haven't gotten to bed before 2 AM therefore I haven't shaved. So now it has been almost 5 days since I have had the pleasure of looking like a civilized human.
I can vividly remember my first straight shave. I had a full beard and mustache and have not had this much growth since. Any suggestions for making this a truly enjoyable experience? I have had a couple shaves with 2 days growth and generally have had a rough shave. Any ideas why this was? This really hasn't been an issue until now. There is a really good chance that it won't be any trouble at all, but I just wanted thoughts or even some ribbing regarding my lack of personal attention. I welcome any and all responses.
BTW I do have extremely sensitive skin.

I actually enjoy having some nice growth before a shave as it gives me good reason to use one of my two larger Sheffield blades. I have fairly sensitive skin as well -- as long as your razor is sharp and your technique is sound there shouldn't be any problems.
I took a smaller video of myself shaving last Halloween. It was probably almost 4 weeks worth of growth and was honestly quite fun watching all that fuzz just melt off from the edge:

Take it easy
Why not take it in stages? Good prep, then a single WTG
pass.
See how that goes, give your face a rest, and finish up
with a second, more thorough shave later.
