    You answered a whole lot there my friend. You are a young shaver (age means hardly anything, just referencing your shaving experience) and your face is still probably not yet adjusted to a straight. If you can't stand not shaving every other day, give your face a break every other day with a couple wtg passes. This way you will not look scruffy and your face can do some healing between those three pass shaves. Some can't handle a ATG shave at all, even with experience. It's just up to you, your face, and skills. Back off a little, have patience (yes, it's very hard to have patience with your newly found skill), and nurture the experience. You have passed the hard part, you just need some "finishing".

    Will do sir and thanks for the advice. Time to give it a bit of rest. When I usually wait a day or two and do the three passes, I can go ATG very well, I just suppose the daily thing will have to wait until my skin gets fully accustomed to the blade.
