I would suggest the soap your using to be the first thing changed, just my 2p worth. Have you tried the Palmolive stick, its very forgiving.

i used only Palmo for weeks and weeks while i was learning the basics..... :shave :shave

I wouldn't aim for BBS just yet either. As tempting as it is. Going over areas to many times is not a good thing. Make sure also there is lather over any area your razor goes, which I'm sure you already do. My first pass is never great. I can get a socially acceptable shave with 2 passes, but will have a few patches that I can normally feel.
heroblob said:I must say i probably try and get a too good result from each pass and due to tacking lots of short strokes probably end up with a few that aren't lathered enough. i do try and move lather around during each pass with the fingers of the other hand, as i feel for stubble. I must try a shave where i limit this habit and collect the left stubble with the next full pass after the re-lather.
