Well, this is my first post and felt this topic was right up my alley. I am about five shaves into this and have one sweet slash on my chin. I broke a rule and paid for it in blood. Overall I have had good luck and feel fairly confident in my shaving, mostly due to the fact I am very slow and try to enjoy the "new" experience. I have lurked on this and other sites for about three weeks before jumping into my first shave. Thanks for all the great advise, input and ideas.
