Thanked: 3222Do not get discouraged, there are so many possibilities for a poor shave experience the first time out that it is almost impossible to accurately say why you had a poor experience.
If you can assume that the razor was indeed shave ready and you did a good thing by not stropping it before first use that leaves poor technique as the main culprit. Try keep a 1 to 2 spine widths gap between face and the razors spine and try and use no weight on the blade. I found getting those right were my biggest problems when I started.
