Alright, I feel like I've embraced the less pressure and skin stretching advice.

I've gotten no cuts or nicks in the last week plus and the only blood has been a couple weepers, probably attributable to pimples.

However, I have been getting these scratch like marks that hang around for as long as a week or so. I feel no pain or skipping while shaving, just notice them when I'm done or later in the day.

Is my razor dull? Is there some better prep I can do? Right now I shave after showering and use some DR Harris aftershave milk. I also use alum bloc after every shave.
