I dont know why, but I was terrified of the blade cutting up my face, so I did not put any pressure on the blade AT ALL.

You don't know why? This is a perfectly natural response and anyone here will tell you that the first time you put one of these things on your face ----- well it takes a leap of faith -- and a little fear is natural. It doesn't seem to me that you have started with the easiest razor but whatever route you choose it will take trial and error as no one can explain exactly what to do or what's best for you. After a few shaves accompanied by the inevitable beginner's nicks and cuts, you will learn the right pressure and angle ----- keep at it but I must say there is no easy way, it's rites of passage time .
