Three things as always are the culprit after you have a "Shave Ready Razor"

1. Stropping: Fastest way there is to un-sharpen a shaving edge for a new shaver...
2. Prep: Is a good thing!!!!
3. Shaving angles: You just have to keep practicing we all did, they will come!!!!
As stated already in the posts above also....

Keep at it........ it is worth the learning curve!!!!
