Good brand to buy, I've used a straight razor before and of course the first few times I did get a cut or two, especially right on the canyon in the center of my chin. I still prefer using a single bladed safety razor when I'm trying to really get a close shave, other wise mach 3 works great. Make sure you strop the razor occasionally and I hope you're using a good shaving cream and brush(barbasol and edge = shit).

If you like it, keep doing it, that's awesome, it's cool to shave with I guess, some people get really nervous when going up the neck with it though, haha.
Im pretty good at whistling with my hands, especially when Im holding a whistle.

Be careful man!!!

I've been wanting to get into this since I saw a video tutorial on it about a year ago, but it just seems like a big up-front investment to make (the right razor, cream, brush, etc.). When I'm older and have more disposable income (and a heavier beard, I'm a seriously un-hairy person so I shave only every 2-3 days) it's something I'll try out.

Good luck!

I once went to a barber shop for a haircut and I wa suprised when the guy lathered up some shit and started shaving my face with a straight razor. The shave was not very close, made my face red and itchy, and kind of weird. Mach3 ftw, to each his own though.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

That looks more like a switch blade than a razor. You sure you got the right thing?

i wanted to get a straight razor last time i was in the states. so i went to a barber shop to try and learn from the guy. the iranian dude laughed at me and was like "you will fuck your face up. do you know how to use it? here hold this razor..no that's the wrong way. you gonna fuck your face up...go sit in that chair and mr lee will give you the best shave of your life"

so i got talked out of learning to shave by a middle eastern barber. mr lee was his cohort who, as it turned out, did give me the best shave of my life. i didnt have stubble for like 2 days after.

I would suggest trying multi-bladed razors and even single bladed razors before moving into straight blade razors.
