Ya, I did that the first couple of shaves, (place the blade hard against the skin) quickly stopped doing that. Its gonna take a while for me to get out of the usual shaving mentality of taking 5 min to shave.

The hardest problem I still have is my neck, since the hair seems to grow sideways there its almost impossible to get a wtg or atg shave as the point of the blade hits on the top of my neck/jaw line. A couple of xtg passes seems to work tho, plus being able to build good lather now is helping a lot!

thanks
