Good shave today. I kind of forgot about SE shaving and applied a little bit to much pressure. Unfortunately I got way to close in one spot on my neck. I will survive but damn these razors require some attention. This is why I am still apprehensive in regards to straight razor shaving, mostly my lack of respect for care and attention while using certain razors I know to be a bit more aggressive. The brand new blade today was a contributing factor to the mistake.
This soap is almost gone and has been for quite sometime. I only bring it out on occasion and today seemed like as good of one as any. The Pans Pipe scent is odd and leaves me with a winter holiday vibe as it is kind of spicy and fruity.

It’s true that straights don’t forgive errors, and the learning curve is real, but it’s a really satisfying skill to learn. It’s a bit like taking off the training wheels: you’ll fall and it’ll hurt a bit, but it’s much more fun with them off 😉

If you practice light pressure and get the feel of erring by riding the more towards the cap with SEs and DEs, then you should be fine with straights.
