I shave usually while wearing my towel around my waist.
Personally, I don't like shaving in the nude or with clothes, but not for the reasons mentioned above! The sink gets cold sometimes and leaning up against it can be a Bone-chilling experience
I do love seeing the shaving your privates threads. You get a lot of pictures in your head....

No, of course not! I don't have a very active imagination, but I'm sure that has crossed all our minds.cheese_dave said:

Whenever you decide, leave yourself plenty of time, and try to arrange that you won't be disturbed. I'm used to my wife poking her head around the bathroom door unannounced, but it isn't particularly helpful.

The sooner the better, IMO! But don't be in a rush - enjoy it!

Good luck! It´s allways fun, the first . Mine was a blood bath, I was going all in and shaved the head aswell (hybris anyone? :roll: ). Had to call for the wife to get plaster when I had 1/4 left, the bleeding was to bad and I didn´t want blood on the wooden floor :lol: . I ended up with a nice hack in the ol head and a good one on the cheek aswell. I thought I could do it becuase I´ve had so many barber shaves and thought I payed attention to how what he was doing :roll: . Take it easy, as said earlier and be _light_ on hand and stretch the skin. That´s my two or three cents though.

Ern razors are a good solid blade, your typical solingen edge so it'll hold up well.
Using a narrower strop can be better for a beginner, larger strops tend to cup which to a newb can spell disaster for rolling an edge, not impossible just needs to be kept in check.
