OK -- I'm very new, so new I haven't built up the courage to actually put blade to face. But I have a razor, and I tried to get a sense the other night of what the postioning, angles would feel like. I must say that I found it terribly difficult to actually see what I was doing when attempting to mimic the initial passes by the sideburns. The hand holding the razor seemed to be, inconveninently, right in front of my eyes (or at least the eye closer to the sideburn area) pretty much blocking the view.

Is this something folks get used to, work around, or are my angles all wrong?
