Where's Utopian/Ron on this one? I remember him getting all bent out of shape on this topic.
I've been shaving with a straight off-and-on for a couple years, using a DE the majority of the time, but about 6 months ago I switched to primarily using a straight, only breaking out the DE every once in a while if I was in a hurry. While I'm certainly not an old pro, I've been accruing experience for a couple years before I went exclusive back in September
I'll second that....but be careful.
The only two times I've ever cut myself shaving with a straight razor was when using a
scything stroke:
The first time was when I was a novice, and didn't know anything; the second time was
40 years later....when I thought that I knew everything and got careless.
And Glen's right about stropping, too.
