Query: First shave ever, fantastic

I'm in the military and always had sergeants coming up to me saying I never shave. I even buy the best products available for regular razors (the ProGlide was my latest). I would shave, while somebody comes INTO the bathroom to do HIS shave.. and I would have more hair on my face then him! Well I got this Merkur recently at a local Art of Shaving store and it is indeed the closet shave I ever got. There is very little evidence of hair on my face but I was pretty scared using the blade as I hate getting cut.If you go slow your fine, and it's almost just like using a regular razor. I don't know about the blades as people on shaving forums says the blades aren't even that sharp. So it's good for a newbie. I will get the more sharper and more highly rated blades however and will be fine with the single blade that came with my Merkur for now.
