My made in Canada razor came. It's an investment, but can finally get away from those expensive American-made blades. (lemmy.ca)

Initially I did nick myself a lot

I realized with my skin and beard combo I can't go against the grain, so getting to know myself helped a lot. I do with the grain then across.

I don't nick myself often and I use an alum block when I do, or just to clean up any spots I think will turn into a razor burn.

You can get a cheaper DE razor to start, the blades and shave soap will make the biggest difference.
