You're well on your way and doing a great job.
I did notice the shakiness and a little bit of uncertainty when you were trying to decide how to hold the razor and where to go next. This will all come together with time and experience. If you're not sure about something I suggest you put the razor down for a second, take a breath and plan what you are going to do next. Don't juggle the razor around from hand to hand right next to your face. That's only a recipe for trouble.
I would also suggest that while learning you rinse the lather off of the blade rather than wiping it on a towel. If you move the blade on the towel there is always a chance that it moves in a funky direction. This could easily slightly degrade the edge during the shave. No chance of that happening when you rinse.
Keep up the great work. It only gets better from here.
