Hello all! I'm new to wet shaving having used an electric shaver for many years. After a little bit of research I recently purchased my first Straight Edge razor, some soap and brush. I wish I'd found the forum and all the shared knowledge and experiences on here first! A couple of YouTube clips and I had my first shave with the new tool yesterday, I've never been so scared! All went well and a super smooth shave and a rewarding experience, although I have 3 stripes on my face to remind me to respect the razor. I'll keep practicing and will treat myself to a DE safety razor and some blades for my week day shaves when there isn't so much time available. Looking forward to learning more. Thanks all!
