After a couple months of DE shaving my skin has cleared up and looks fantastic. I decided I am ready to move over to a straight razor shave and ordered the poor man's kit from Larry (thanks Larry!!!).
This morning I took to my face with the SE and first thing I noticed....I can't see anything! Watching all these youtube videos I never really noticed that my hand/blade are right in line of my vision while doing my cheeks. I was expecting this area to be a piece of cake, but the obscured view complicated it a bit. I'll have to continue to adapt my technique.
Anywho, all things considered, I got a great shave with the exception of a serious hack I took to my cheek when I wasn't paying attention....I wasn't even shaving! blushing. No razor burn or any other nicks so I am quite happy. I can tell this is going to take some muscle memory before this is easy though. Can't wait though!
