Welcome to SRP. It sounds like you have done your research for the first shave so well done. Shavettes tend to be alittle less forgiving than real straights, so ensure you use a very light stroke with each pass. Keep at and you'll soon be rewarded with great shaves and you'll look forward to shaving.

You say that now, but once you are hooked on this hobby, you may find yourself wanting to shave more surface area on your face, at least I did and my long sideburns are but a distant memory living on only in photographs.
