1st/ 2nd shave... with a DE. I know you all where hoping for a post about someones first straight shave, but alas funds are limited and a DE was a more cost effective/ "safer" place to start and get used to the feel of cold steel against my skin.
To start I'm shaving with a Merkur 33C with Merkur super blades, and Wilkinson Sword soap. All in all I think I'm doing ok both times I've gone with two WTG passes and although the shave seemed close the night of by morning I seemed to have more growth than I was used to shaving with a cartridge razor. Also both shaves I got three nicks and both times in more or less the same spots. Specifically just below my jaw line where it transitions into neck, is there any particular trick to shaving this area or is more of playing around until I get the angle right? I don't know if it helps I have been doing the neck/ transition area S to N and now that I'm sitting here rubbing my chin I'm realizing to shave truly WTG I would have to be going more South by South West to North by North East
Any help would be much appreciated and I do promise to make a real 1st shave post probably along with a video when I finally get a straight.

Cheers
