A blond 6/8 DOVO "Best" was my weapon. A little samurai sword. Chin scruff beware.

I think I did alright. No cuts or weepers of any sort. However, I wonder if that's because I was playing it a little too safe. My face isn't smooth at all. It feels smooth going down, but when I run my fingers up my cheek it's definitely got plenty of stubble left on it. Should I give a Tiny bit of pressure on my cheek or adjust my angle or something, or do I need to go ATG to get totally smooth? I'm not going to try ATG yet (I kind of like my pretty un-scared face), but I'd like to know if this is normal when only going WTG or if I can get it totally smooth once I get better.

I did my chin too, but wasn't good enough yet to do a good job at all. It kept catching and pulling when I got things short(though I did get the bulk of it off), so I let it go before I cut myself. I was gonna give my neck a go, but it's much more sensitive. I could feel the crazy sharpness of the blade there and it was making me nervous, so I let that one wait until another day.

Lastly, the warm cream is kinda nice. And my lather sucked. I can't wait until I learn to do everything well. It's like a manly man's spa treatment. Nice long hot shower, hot lather, have at your face with a large bare razor blade. Fun fun. Thanks to everyone here for helping me get going.
