1) Do not apply downward pressure...just push it across your head. If you apply downward pressure on the blade, you will cut yourself
2) Take long AND slow strokes. Don't try and get the job done in 30 seconds.
3) For the sides of your head, take horizontal strokes, from your temples towards the back of your head.
4) Rinse the blade after each stroke

Hope the helps  O0

when i shave, i will probably have 2 days growth of hair, is that too much?
and is it a good idea to shave with the grain on my first try?

I find it depends on how much growth is there... a day's and I can probably just go against.  A couple of days, and it'll start to get caught and pull in the razor, so I'd go with first.
