Dorado,

I bought some C.O.Bigelow (made by Proraso, even says on the tube) Shaving cream at Bath and Body works. That store seems to be pretty ubiquitous. I am still very new to straight razor shaving, and I am all too familiar with your story. It gets better though!! Every cut makes me want to take another pass so I can finish without any nicks. Be gentle and mind the angle and the toe point. I have a rounded point, and always seem to nick my earlobe with it when I am not paying attention, and never seem to feel a thing!
