Great Job for your first time. I have been at it for 4 months. I cant believe how far I have come. Today I had a great shave BBS. There are spots that are not as smooth as I would like, bit its a matter of time and they will. You will find certain grinds aand widths soot you better . I use to use a 4/8 when I first started. I guess it was less intimidating, but now I prefer a 6/8 it just seems to shave me better. I like a hollow ground the best. I have a extra hollow and I cant get it to shave me at all.

The bottom line is that you cant rush experience...a little but often. I use a DE on my work days. No time for a SR shave. The only razor I seem to cut myself is the safety razors ..go figure.

You will be fine just keep at it.
