I just recently realized after 5 months of shaves that I was still using too much pressure. My shaves are dramatically more comfortable. None of us have mastered every thing, just keep learning and experimenting.

I have had my share of cuts and you can shave over them before they completely heal if you make just one very light pass in the opposite direction as the cut. For example if the razor was supposed to be moving in a downward direction but moved to the left you could soon shave in a upward direction. Do wait until the cut is smooth so as to avoid tearing off a scab or causing a second cut in the other direction.
