So last night I tried it again, this teim I went for my whole face in one go - much better results, I think what gave the bestimprovement waas that I now held the blaed at ± 30°, instead of the nearly flat angle which comes natural. Now id did look much smoother than my earlier attempts, but it still didn't feel smooth enough (so I havenneeded to finish it off with a Gillette blade), but at least it's on the up!
