Hi All
I had my first shave with a straight tonight and all things considered I am impressed because there was no bleeders just nicks. I shaved with a Gold Dollar 66 bought from buca3152 shave ready and stropped. I haven't gotten around to learning how to shave with both hands yet but based on the fact that I am right handed and I do more damage to the right side of my face proves the point that shaving with both hands is an excellent idea for those that can and eventually I will learn.
I shaved with my right hand for both "north/south" then "south/north" passes and then finished of the shave with a 1932 Canadian Tech with a Bluebird blade (4th shave). I am almost certain that my angle changed as I was doing under my nose. With any razor I use I normally shave under my nose "nose to ear" then "ear to nose". Any thoughts, suggestions, or comments are welcome.

The big scar is on the right side of my face.
