Ah ok.

Shaving cream is a must. Not just any shaving cream though. My mother used to buy off brand and it was worse than covering your legs in sand. Use gillette or skintamate... something that actually helps the blade glide when you put it on. Your legs should feel silky soft after. That's what helps you be able to feel the lines where hair still is. Stubble is easier to feel than long hair as well so shave at least every week. Use long strokes from ankle to knee. Arm pits and sensitive areas can be a bit more difficult, but double with practice.

It says to keep it on for 5 minutes but I find that 10-15mins works best 😅😅

Ah no, death grip is never good. To put it in the words of Miyamoto Musashi: "A stiff hand is a dead hand." ;-)

So, what you could do is learn how to eat with these Chinese... sticks? (sorry, my mother tongue is German, hope you know what I mean). My godfather would make me eat grapes with em cause that improves your co-ordination and you need to apply just the right pressure to anything. It's one hell of a frustrating start, but if you're stubborn you'll manage it in the end, I promise.

Too much pressure in shaving is a hindrance really cause the razor can't cut properly, and you're also potentially cutting your skin. And... be patient. All of us have a "chocolate side", so a side where shaving works better than on the other side. To fix this, you mostly need patience and practice in my experience.

It’s absolutely worth the price! I used to not use it but I have learned my lesson. You only need to gash your head open once with a razor before you realise you never want to do that again. XD A good aftershave balm or lotion is worth it too. You’ll have fewer ingrown hairs later and it just feels nice, stops the itching and it’s good for your skin.

Not necessarily. I tried shaving my legs once, sliced them all to pieces.
