The razor I find unlike some others is more pressure sensitive. First couple of shaves I had the hand waas heavy, super close but lots of nicks. Hand has been much lighter with almost no nicks but not as close. Some more practice I should be able to get just as close as the initial shaves with no nicks and at a higher setting.
