UPDATE......
OK... So you'll be pleased to hear I'm still Alive.
As Bob1955 stated above there was "red stuff" but nothing that that was excessive.
I got plenty of burn from the aftershave.
I'm not sure I got the angle entirely right &
It's tricky on the curves of your chin and under the nose.
I took my time.....
After having a nice warm shower I applied some pre shave cream and while that was doing its stuff I lathered up some extro lavanda cream. Using a 24mm yaqi Timberwolf I applied said lather to said chops, and then slowly slowly started to slide the edge of the razor (brand new astra green) across my cheeks.
The cheeks bit went swimmingly for my first attempt. Only a little bit of stubble remained which was reduced by the second pass.
The chin and underneath the nostrils played along, but not without some miniature war wounds that are still slightly stinging at the time of writing.
I finished my Shavette experience with a cold water rinse and some Nivia 2 phase lotion and some Aldi Somthing or other EDT (no point using the good stuff, as I'm off to bed)
The shave was... shall we say interesting and a luring curve. Was it as enjoyable as using my Gillette Slim Adjustable? NO!
Do I think I would use the 'Raptor Shavette' again? Most definitely. (maybe in a week or two when my face has recovered a little.)
I'm sue the more practice I get the better I will get.
However I'm still open to suggestions for future shaves to come.
