Welcome to SRP!
We have a lot of great folks here that are very willing to help you along this journey you are about to start. Go slow! Take your time!
The saying is it takes 100 shaves before you really start to understand what your doing so no rush.
Expect some shaves with irritation as you learn pressure and angle.
Be sure to have a Pro-Honed Razor. This will remove the biggest part of issues in learning.
Practice stropping.
Learn to make lather.
A lot of things to learn before the shaves get easy so start with the basics.
And ASK QUESTIONS. We are here to help.It's just Sharpening, right?
