Awesome pif. I've used a shavette before but never a straight, so if I'm allowed, I'm in. Red.(to hide the blood lol)

If I can still I will Update the OP because YES even if you have used a shavette you CAN enter. I am going to go and try and do that now. I do not count Shavette's as Straights although they too are amazing shavers with the right technique and right blade.
