Hello Everyone. I started down this path simply wanting a better shaving cream, which led to picking up a DE razor...
Before I knew it there I was last night, standing in front of my mirror with my first SR in my hand (a 6/8 TI full hollow), wondering if things were going to go my way or if my wife would be driving me to the hospital (almost certainly scolding and denouncing my foolishness).
Good news is I made it through with only one tiny nick at the edge of a mole. Honestly I was ok until I had to switch to left handed, that slightly terrified me. After 2 slow, cautious passes with the SR i had probably the worst shave I have ever done (still far from smooth), but I could see shaving with a SR is possible, I just need more practice. I did a final pass with my DE to make myself acceptable for the night and will try again tonight.
Happy to be a member here, and thank you to all who have posted before me. Reading a lot on here has at least started me in the right direction.
