Another recommendation for Feather blades. There is a learning curve where you take the name literally when applying pressure, especially while learning. If you ever decide to try a safety razor, something like the Lord L6 safety on Amazon is inexpensive. A basic cream like Porasso or any canned cream will work (don't invest in a brush yet, use hands to lather at fist) and don't forget a styptic pencil for the war wounds.

Then consider investing in a brush and something like a Merkur 34C. A pack of 100 Feather razors lasts a couple years when changing the blade weekly and the shaving soap/cream lasts the better part of a year.

I shave after showering, soak brush in the sink with warm water and use a shaving soap. Shave short strokes one pass with the grain. Rinse with cool water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Good luck and don't go down the straight razor rabbit hole.

I still need to really take the App a test drive, but my initial observation is the inability to display in landscape. That's my own personal pet peeve with all Apps.

Oof, thankfully it was mostly your ego that was bruised. At least you can laugh about it after the fact with that image of you carrying everything around stuck to your head.
