Many people think that proper shaving soap is even more important to get a proper shave. I'm not too sure which contibutes most, I switch both at the same time. But the point is that you need to get yourself a proper brush and some shaving soap. For now, you can put the soap in a regular mug but at some point you'll want a dedicated shaving scuttle (because it looks cooler, not because it's any more convenient).
The number one mistake you are going to do with your new razors is put too much pressure. That's the one everyone makes. You won't cut yourself any more than with the toy razors (it's called safety razor for a reason!) but it won't be a great shave. The right amount of pressure you have to apply is zero. The only thing that presses it against your face is the weight of the metal.
You might want to get a straight razor instead because that's more fun. Well... That part is pretty subjective. :)
Point is you need to stop buying crappy disposable toy razors that only exists so that the companies manufacturing them can make buttloads of money.
Disposable razors are the printers of personal care. Make no money on the initial sale, rip off the customers with the refills.
I've got an electric razor I've received as a christmas present that does a decent job, but I always feel like I do the job faster with a regular one. Might look into those safety razors then! Thanks again.
