I was there just a week ago, I had the most horrible experience of my shaving life. I fealt as though I was a teenager who is shaving for the first time. I had the worst razor burn in the history of razor burn. My face looked like a plump juicy red apple.

I re-read a bunch of posts and tweaked a few things and followed advice. I tried again, concentrating on pressure mainly. I only did one pass with very light pressure. My pressure was so light it fealt unnatural and I thought there was no way I am taking off hair. It was comfortable though and I was surprised that I was shaving. I ended up with closer, more comfortable shave than I had to date with my straight. I have a lot more work and more practice but I fealt that I am actually moving forward.
