Approach the lathered skin with the razor, in such a way that the cap touches the surface first.... With the speed at which I shave, I often land the razor on my skin carelessly at all sorts of angles, where the blade can nick or cut the skin as it lands. Same thing applies when shaving with a SR, remembering to keep the blade flat until the blade has safely landed on the surface of the skin, then, and only then adjusting the razor angle before performing the actual shaving stroke. - I wish I always remembered this important aspect of technique !!
