    It is official! My Dubl Duck made it back from @gssixgun a day early!!
    Joining the dark side was great with my first shave! I shaved my whole face, two passes, wtg both times.
    My face was a teeny bit raw for about 20 minutes after the shave, but I enjoyed it very much, and my face feels very smooth now. My only nicks were on either side of my chin (where I had some rough skin from my electric razor).
    I also nicked my earlobe (hahah!) because my hand slipped.
    Thanks everyone for all the help and guidance!!

    Welcome to the dark side! SR shaving is lots of fun! It will take some time to be proficient, but it gets better with every shave.

    A few years ago I tried to use a straight. I looked in the mirror and had blood streaming across my chest and neck. I sliced my earlobe quite deep. I went back to the Safety Razor. Here we are a few years removed and I am back with the straight. Trying my best to keep both earlobes intact however I did put a nice 2" cut on my right cheek this morning. I am going to stick with it until I have mastered the art! That could be awhile...
