There are some people who have said when they first started they were shaking and couldn't finish. Never understood that at all. As has been said I've had worse cuts from a DE. You just take your time and don't shave when your in a big hurry. Enjoy the experience and read the wikis for new shavers there is a ton of info for you there so you can get started right.
Just one little thing when you buy that first razor buy one with a rounded toe(end of blade). They are more user friendly when you first start out.
