You're definitely taking the right road as far as splitting the razor from the starter pack, good idea. Of course, once you get your technique down pat, like the rest of us you should be aware that you WILL succumb (eventually) to the RAD. It is just a fact of life, so accept it and move on. You will probably initially still have some difficulty with the your problem areas, they're the same problem areas for many of us as well. Don't get frustrated, just practice and practice, it will submit in time, and the members here are always ready to provide tips and motivation in equal parts. Heavily consider the purchase of Lynn's DVD, it is worth the money you will spend and more. I still go back to it once in awhile for info. Good hunting for you razor!
