First off I did my first shave today. I had a good 3 days growth on my face. I am a lefty so to hold the razor with the 3 fingers like I see in this pictures on the Wiki


I have to flip it around the other way. Is there a front and back to the blade. The blade was hopping around and did not want to cut through my beard well. Once I made the first pass, I re-lathered and made another and that went fine. I even cut in an ATG pass, up only on my cheeks and neck. I know I kept my pressure good because my neck is much less irritated than I normally would be with my DE. I used the Trufitt & Hill shaving cream and after shave balm. I give both a thumbs up. I ended up using my right had a little.

I didn't get and nicks per se, however a couple times I did not have a good grip and when I put the blade to my face the blade dug in a little. So I have 4 little lines on my face. I think it will be fine, they are very light. I am not put off at all. I actually got a decent shave despite my terrible form. I just knew from my DE experience to keep the pressure very light.

If anyone has any suggestions on the lefty thing I would appreciate it.
