Well lets see everyone here is blaming the razor. Its your first ever straight shave and you didn't get the result you thought you would get. Well thats strange, everyone else here on the forum got BBS shaves the first time we used a straight.(pardon the sarcasim) Plan to go over your face with a DE or something for your first several shaves. This thing takes time and patience. If you can get through a shave without cuts and nicks just doing the cheek and sides of your face the first few times thats an accomplishment.

Don't even think about quality shaves for a while.
