Only 16 shaves in, and you were able to shave your head without mirrors? That's impressive, sir!
I am wanting to give the traditional razors a run, yet - for whatever reason, I'm not in a big hurry. Normally when I want something, or to do something, I want it now. Maybe the hesitiation is mostly due to the undecidedness of honing. It's not out of fear. As you said, after using a shavette, the traditional straights should be straightforward and every bit as natural - if not more so.
The simple fact that I even own and plan on using a traditional straight is a testimony to the 30 DC. When I got started with traditional wet shaving with a DE, I never considered that one day I'd use an open blade at all. And, had I left the auction after scoring some DE and injector razors, and not picked up the lot of straights, I still might not be considering it.
Then there are all the SOTD photos of beautiful straights to tempt. It's almost tough to not consider at least giving it a try.
