    Tried it first with a derby and it was awful with tugging and pain.

    Went with a merkur razor that it came with today. Wowza! So easy and so nice. Didn't want to stop! easy shave! Super smooth. Sign me up for more!

    I must have a coarser beard.

    Very nice. Are you going to bump up to astra or platinum feather blades next?

    Welcome to TSD. I've found Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow blades are some of the smoothest, for my coarse beard.
    What razor , and gear are you using?

    That's great you had your first decent wet shave. It gets even better with time as the technique improves, blades play an important roll as well.
