Hello everyone, i just finished my second shave ever and i have some questions.
I am having some trouble with visibility, especially when doing my cheeks, i am switching hands, but sometimes i feel like i would have better visibility if i reached across my face instead of shaving the same side with same hand. I know it must be something i am doing wrong or the way i am standing, but it is really hard for me to see where the razor is in relation to my face, and to see the angle.
I have watched the videos in the video forum, but since they are all taken at an angle i cant really tell how people are standing, or what they are seeing in the mirror... maybe this is just all the visibility we get...

also i was wondering how badly i could damage the edge by improper stropping? i am using a shave ready lakeside cutlery 5/8 that i bought from a honemister, and the first shave went really well, only got a nick or two, but today after my first stropping i did a lot more damage to my face. Based on what i have read it is more likely than anything that its just my technique, and i know im putting to much pressure on the blade, but if i did dull the blade with my stropping, is there anything i can do to bring it back short of sending it back out to get resharpened? i don't want to attempt to hone it just yet

Thank You!!! this place has been immensely helpful!
