    That's some first shave. Lots of good advice already given. Don't use it with damage of any kind. You won't enjoy the results. Get the blade honed again. Also you may want to make sure you're wearing shoes for shave #2. Just a thought.

    Keep your concentration high and your angles low!

    Despite the high cost of living, it's still very popular.

    Rough start, but it will get better!

    I also nicked my strop and then dinged my razors edge on the faucet putting a nick in it within the first week of SR shaving. My face was so red from razor burn I looked like I had a monster sunburn. Took a month or two to get good shaves, but totally worth the journey.

    Now I've been SR shaving solely for over 2 years and I still can't wait till the next shave.

    Stick with it and it will be worth it!

    Regards,

    JC
