today i did my first ever straight blade shave on myself....altho i have bein doing them for years on other people...never thought about doing it to myself until i signed up for this web site.....and i must say my first shave was...ummm interesting? it was very good just one or 2 wee nicks on my left cheek (found my left hand side alot harder to do) and i almost lost a finger due to the missus coming in and distracting me....but other than that it was an awesome shave....not the cleanest i have ever had but i guess it will get better with time and technique...i am excited about doing more and more shaves with a staight blade..... yay!
