Check out the forum StraightRazorPlace.com and look at the Newbie section. LynnAbrams, who is one of the gurus of straight shaving gives some greats tips for first time straight shavers.
Go slow, just start off shaving one section and get comfortable with it, watch your angle and use really light pressure. Also make sure your razor is truly shave ready.
Good luck and have fun.
Well this morning came and i took bare steel to my face for the first time just did my cheeks and neck sides, i think i'll get comfortable before i look at the chip and top lip......then get those right before thinking about XTG and ATG....but it was a success with no nicks.....i'm still fairly amazed.....
