The first week
is the vigil.
Seven mornings to learn it. After that, you won't think about it again.
Mornings 1–3
Setting 1. One pass, with the grain.
No pressure. Let the weight of the razor do the work. It will feel slow.
Mornings 4–7
Setting 2 or 3. Add a pass across.
A nick or two is normal. A styptic stick closes it in seconds.
Week two

Most men settle between 3 and 5.
