1. Hold the razor any way that is comfortable, safe, and effective. But try the ones in the Wiki/Library article Razor Grips first.

2. Try the toe, switching hands for each side. Or go completely clean shaven

Congratulations on the first straight shave, but don't worry if you have to use another type of razor to clean up. We all had to deal with the learning curves, they get better.
