I possibly wouldn't bother with moisturiser and pre shave right now, try and get a good technique developed and keep things simple. You don't know what's causing ingrowns so it can sometimes help to get right down to basics to help work out what was casing the problem.

My advice would be, keep it set on 1. Don't be tempted to fiddle around with it. I use mine on 2.5 and find it to be perfect.
Secondly, use a Derby or a blade more forgiving. I find this razor to be not fussy about what blades it has in it.
And lastly, zero pressure. It's quite heavy, if you press, you will have an uncomfortable shave and get quite a few nicks.
Don't be scared of it, it's perfectly fine for a starter razor as my good friend whom I infected with SBAD had one as his first razor before I even got into all this and got on with no issues.
What finish did you get? I'm tempted to get a chrome one but not until next year now.

I got brushed steel finish. If i set it to 1 will it give me a close shave though?
