Man thanks again, I'll definitely give my pressure and angle some tweaking, and work on my strop technique(hopefully no major damage was done).
I'm not discouraged, painful or not it's still fun, although I feel like this would have taken me many painful years without the assistance of this forum:p
Oh and to bman40, look under the general forum there should be a sub-forum called videos, that's where the xman one handed shaving video is hiding :tu
