Hey, everyone.

I'm new to this site and I'm excited to take my place in the community. I'm starting this thread because I haven't been able to find anything that relates to it. Basically, I just had my second shave with a straight razor. I know that my technique isn't great, obviously; however I really cut my face up this time. I guess what I'm wondering is did a lot of people have an experience like this when they were starting out, too? I have about 4 pretty distinct cuts on my face just from the second session. It's a little discouraging, obviously. I'm hoping to get a couple of personal experiences from the members of the community.

Thanks very much,
Seth
