I was 62 when I started so age isn't an issue in case you were concerned. Sometimes you can feel a bit intimidated by the razor and that's normal. And wise. But remember, the expressions "no pressure" or "no effort" are just that. Figures of speech to convey the importance of a light and sensitive touch. But - you do have to use basic physics to get the blade through the hair and it sometimes (always) involves a bit of self confidence. There's no way to learn it other than trial and (hopefully minimal) error. I wish you the best of luck but with enough information we don't even need luck. Keep us posted!
