I shaved the right side of my face with the the straight razor yesterday. Then I shaved the left side with a safety razor. Lately I have been avoiding the chin and mustache area and finishing that with a DE. Yesterday I just kept on shaving with my right hand and did the whole right side of my face. Switched to the DE for the whole left side of my face. The DE was a lot quicker and easier. Both sides were shaved smooth and no nicks or irritation. So I think I am starting to get okay shaving skills with the straight. At this rate I will be doing the whole shave with the straight pretty soon!
