Congratulations and welcome to the club! Your skin will adapt, the more you shave. Remember the first time you shaved your face, is was probably the same: razor burns everywhere. So take your time, make sure you don't put too much pressure on the blade to begin with. Don't strive for a super close shave at the beginning. And if you need to take a day or two off from shaving, you skin will probably thank you. It's a matter of time but you skin will get used to being shaved frequently. Hope this helps.
