Today I finally had the time to try an straight reazor for the first time. Used La Toja stick, and guess it went as usually does for all newbies: trying to get the proper angle and approach, and remaining alive at the same time. Had 2 or 3 cuts, but only one "serious" in my chin, but a quite close shave, usually WTG, because when i tried to go ATG I found too much resistance, and I did not want to push it the first time. All in all, not bad, I cut myself but I am pretty sure i also did when I shave for my first time when I was a teenager...
Next weekend more (not enough time during the week), and here some pics of the razor, strop and leather pouch:
