    No worries, part of the process is learning these errors on our own, you got a big one out of the way early without any major damage - that's good!

    The one that I dread, is the damaging the razor, through dropping it or dinging it on something. So with that in mind, never just put your razor down, always have a place to set it down if you need to. I have a folded towel by the side of the sink, well back from the edge, for just such a circumstance...the idea of banging a chip out of one of my blades just gets me to clinch up tighter than a crab's a$$ in a rain barrel....just sayin'

    well said Phrank i use a folded towel also, one thing to keep in mind anytime the razor is out "mind the blade" i tell myself that even while shaving. Angles and mind the blade.

    Cutting myself helped me to focus on blade control too. Shaving around the cut while still getting a good shave was an interesting challenge. Far be it for me to let a little cut interfere with the learning process
