You're here, so you're on a much better track than me. I bled for 3 hours on the day in question and do seriously still have the scar. That was the week I first started reading this site and learning the trade. It took another 8 months to finally be comfortable coming on here and telling the story. Don't be too proud to ask questions, and DO NOT force anything. Practice practice practice (with a butterknife or practice razor if you have one).
