I am only a few weeks ahead of you my friend and you landed in the right place here. I found the you tubes of guys shaving an eye opener. I learned by shaving the cheeks and jaw and finished with the old plastic junk. Took me 2 weeks to get the nerve to even touch my neck. 3 most important things I have learned. 1. Never get in a hurry. 2. Always be careful. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2. Oh and get a styptic pencil or some alum because if you have one of these you may not need it. If you don't have one you will need it. That's been my luck anyway. It gets better each time.
