For safety's sake - I'll probably use a Derby and set on 2

I'm fairly new to DE shaving - but got seduced by a birth year/razor. I enjoy shaving with the SS - so the Slim-Adj was a new experience.
Thought I'd take it down a notch just to get used to the shape/weight. Still managed to nick myself 2/3 times. I used a Derby in the SS so thought stay with that in an effort to 'keep it simple'
Still a decent shave and a bit of learning with a new razor. I'm getting a new DE89 at the weekend (pressie from the wife) along with a decent brush so looking forward to that!

Wherever it's most comfortable and natural for you.
I tend to hold my razors below the balance point of the razor between forefinger and thumb (ie. below the point where a razor balances when rested on my forefinger) - so a razor with a light head, I'll hold lower down the handle than one with a heavy head.
