All went well. That is until I finished up with the DE. I did most of my right cheek with the straight and part of the left (got ambitious). Definitely a different feel, but I would have to say a stellar first run. But every spot on my face that the DE touched is red, irritated and well; ouch. DE has been eatin my lunch for the past several shaves. Makes me wish I had thrown caution to the wind and did it all str8. Now if I can just get the feel for this stroppin' thing...
