Thanks to Al H I received my Gillette Super Speed Flair Tip with a few blades too.
I put in the Astra superior platinum in and took it for a spin as it were.
After a shower, and a good lathering with the brush and body shop shaving cream I did 3 passes.
On the whole I only managed to get nicked twice but some questions did arise. On the whole I started off like I would a normal razor, but then remembered I shouldn't be doing that and changed to what I'd seen in videos on youtube to short strokes with no pressure.
How does one know that the angle is correct? For the first pass it was a bit obvious because you could clearly hear the stubble being cut, but it was much harder with the second pass because you couldn't hear the stubble as well.
Secondly, how does one go about shaving around spots? I had a bit of a break-out in the morning around my chin and wasn't sure how to go about shaving so went over them, subsequently it hurt.
Thirdly, how do you do the chin? I got a better shave than I normally do in that area but it still isn't great.
On the whole though my shave was much closer and there was a bit less irritation but there was still irritation by the neck. I really need to work on my technique.
