Had my first shave with my new straight tonight, i just done my cheeks and flat neck bits.
I could really feel when angle was off. Too flat to skin, sticking. Too high from skin, scraping.
But when i got it right i knew it was right. . Went over twice once i sussed the angle, and as Billy would say dolphin smooth. No cuts or irritation at all, or sting from aftershave.
I was a bit apprehensive at first and could feel when blade was about to jump/skip.
( I think i was being too light handed at first)
Next shave i will do it with a bit more authority, not rough just a bit less apprehension.
All in all very happy with first go, just waiting for strop to arrive, then ill be on my way.
