Don't worry about BBS for a while.... Shave WTG, with the grain, till you are very comfortable with the razor in your hand.. To shave xtg or atg you'll have to change your grip.. again....No pressure.... none! if you feel you need to add pressure your razor is dull.... when your razor is sharp you automatically will not want to add pressure.... for fear of being cut.....Shave with no pressure... then check your face.... you'll be surprised!!
