Nice to meet everyone.

Now to business.

Tried my first shave tonight. Did the cheeks only for the most part. Experienced a good bit of pulling/tugging it felt like. What causes this? I tried different angles of blade to face, adding more water/soap to lather (to some degree, probably could have experimented more) and couldn't figure it out. Wasn't able to correct the problem before calling it a day. However, I will note that I didn't cut myself. So maybe that's a sign that I was being too cautious, lol. But seriously, maybe I was trying to go too slowly and not letting the blade do it's work? (I was trying to go slowly mind you.) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
