Today went a lot better. Not perfect, but better. My face feels a little raw but it's nothing like the razor burn from the cartridge razor.

Thanks for the advice, all.

It was shower, hot water on face, a nice thick lather, stretched skin, and as for angle, I was attempting to have it 30 degrees from my face as I'm sure I read somewhere that it was a good idea.

... and I cut nothing. Not just my face, but whiskers as well.

First off, I know I must be doing something really wrong. Bombay did a great job on my razor and the blade is most definitely sharp....
