welcome - I too am new - just go slow - while nicks are common ground in the beginning, if you give yourself too big a weeper, you could be waiting for it to heal before you can shave again. I have found letting your face rest a day or two between straight shaves is agreeing with my skin - plus it gives me time to think about what I did last and how I can improve.

It is quite exhilerating isnt it?
