Yep-that looks familiar -blood and whiskars on a towel!-reminds me of my first shave.
Congrats on your first good shave-may you have many more!
Make sure you give your skin time to heal from those nicks.Using a good aftershave balm really helps.
Btw-instead of using a towel to wipe the blade as you shave,try using a large natural sponge as its easier to rinse.(I got this idea from other SRP members.)
