I'm a guy and yes I do shave my legs, chest, etc. at the wife's request. If by straight edge you mean a knife or straight razor or other such device I don't know how.
I use a regular razor like most folks. If you don't have shaving cream get your skin wet with warm water - soak in the bath or shower or such - and use a thin layer of soap. It works just fine. As long as you have soap you're okay for shaving.
I have to say I'm not a fan of the straight razor. I used to get straight razor shaves from my barber when I was a teenager and it always made me nervous that someone was holding a razor to my throat.
