Time for the post-mortem:

I nicked myself 4 times (but who's counting?), one of the nicks I can attribute to applying too much pressure, the other 3 are from the point of the razor. Maybe I should look into a round point.

I did 2 full passes, wtg and atg. I got the upper lip pretty smooth, the cheeks came out pretty well, but the chin, under the chin, and jawline is where I will need more work. I'm very pleased with the results I am getting. Even with the problem areas, my face feels a lot smoother overall in comparison with a cartridge razor.
