Don't be too cautious about trying it.  I actually used one on my head before trying it on my face.  As long as you don't rush, you'll be fine and it will likely be easier than you think.

Hi Agent147:   Congrats on your 1st DE shave.  There is nothing better than a DE or SE shave compared to any cartridge.  Post up some pics and participate in the Safety Razor SOTD Section of the forum.

Using a DE is different, you have to forget all the brainwashing that the big companies have taught you over the years.
Lesson 1: Don't add pressure.
2: know the direction(s) your hair grows, it's not the same for everyone.
3: shave with the grain then against then across.
Related- use the proper cutting angle (you'll hear it cutting)
4: pass and stroke aren't the same thing, example it may take you a specific number of strokes to complete each pass.
5: relather before each pass, also you don't need to get every bit of shave cream before moving on.
6: let razor burn heal before shaving again.
7: enjoy

Thank you guys for all the great advice and support! I look forward to learning a far better way to shave and actually enjoy shaving for once. The distinctive sound of shaving with a de is odd satisfying
