After my bloody first shave I call shaves 2 and 3 a success. A couple of small nicks (very minor) but all in all successful. However, I'm getting an unusual amount of razor burn. Much more than I would get if shaving with a Fusion (oops, I said the bad word). Also, the shave cream is getting very dry. If I lather my entire face, then start to shave the right side, by the time I get to the left side it's more like clay than cream. Can any one help me out with these two issues.

Lastly, could one of the senior members please look at the SRP bylaws and advice as to when one is no longer considered a "Newbie".
