My first wet shave was pretty much the same as you, but a gillette razor and no foam. Well I only had about 5 hairs on my chin to shave off. But I did enjoy it as kids at school had been teasing about my hairy face so I was glad to have a hair free face.
Yeah. what I remember most is using way too much pressure, and coming out of the bathroom with 3 or 4 little squares of TP stuck to the bleeders/weepers. No one to learn from, it took me a while for the light to come on in my head and learn to reduce pressure.
