Shower first, or use a hot towel, even some pre shave oil wouldn't hurt. Mind the angle of the blade, it's a common problem area for new str8 shavers. I'm sure you've read our WIKI, but thought I'd mention it anyway, Also, Youtube, a guy named Mantic59 has some great vids on shaving, lather building, etc...Welcome to the forum, let any Mentor or Mod know if you need some help...
Cheers,
Rich
