I am getting more relaxed each SR shave, but I do pay attention to what I am doing. I have only been SR shaving a little over a month, so I am focusing more on technique and in time the BBS will find its way there. Midloth72, you said you nick yourself each shave, what do you do for your pre-shave prep? How about your razor angle? I'm no expert, but I found from some nicks and burns in the past that if I pre-shave prep properly and watch my blade angle, I can eliminate both irritations. I finally made it to the point of shaving XTG after WTG without nicking, I am focusing on those two techniques after a month of just shaving WTG. ATG will find its way there.
I am left handed and I tried shaving with my non-dominant right hand and I hung it up. I'll cross over with my left hand and judging by the after shave feel and no nicks, I'm doing fine. But if you can shave with switching the razor, more power to you!!
Happy and safe shaves to you!
