Well, it didn't go according to plan. have stopped and taken the blade out and have a practise with the razor that way.... just to get the feel for it but more importantly to find out the best way for me to use the razor so i can see what the heck i am doing!

think i have got it so will have another try later on. it is not as easy as i thought it would be but i'm sure that i will get the the technique that works best for me. will let you know how i get on after i have tried again.
