For some reason, it varies with person to person. Personally, I find it easier to shave with longer growth, as do many others. Others still find it easier to shave when the stubble is nice and low.

i have been shaving for about a month and was frustrated until I found out that it really takes technique as well as training your beard to a SR shave. you didnt get good at shaving from the start when you were young either So get used to learning again thats all. it takes practice just like shooting.:gwh:
welcome to srp and congrads on the half decent shave, the shaves will only get better from now on.
+1 on all the comments saying "slow down". All things considered, your experience was better than normal for someone who went ATG first time. Welcome to SRP.
Congrats on making the leap. Everyone's right about taking your time. I just completed my 4th shave and it was a leap in confidence. Just take it slow and easy. Set the razor down if you have to and just breath a bit and re focus if you get frustrated (that's what I did) Anything worth anything takes time to learn and perfect.
Shave On,
Chip
