Technique
Preparing the Face
This differs for everyone. Make of it what you will. The general idea is just to get the face moisturised and the hair nice and soft.
I tend to exfoliate my face with an exfoliating scrub, then rinse and apply a pre-shave oil or cream - I use this.
Applying Shaving Lubricant
This doesn't apply to electric razor users. You guys don't need it.
If you're using a gel or foam, just apply it to the face.
If you're using a shave soap and brush combination, your technique is a bit more important (but totally worth it):
If you're still having trouble, this is a good video on how to make lather.

Passes**
There are three directions you can shave in. Shaving in a specific direction is known as a pass:
Here is a video about the different types of passes.

I have intentionally left out straight razors and shavettes because you said you don't want to cut yourself. These have a much steeper learning curve than the other methods I have discussed. You probably will cut yourself if you attempt to use these.

U/Trooze knows what’s up.
Go slow, and take your time. You’ll get faster as you do it more, rushing is when you hurt yourself. Shave after you shower. The hot water will soften you’re facial hair, and washing your face will get the gunk of your skin, allowing for an easier job.
Razors are hella expensive. I found an old-style safety razor like this one for ten bucks at an antique shop and bought 100 blades for it for $10 on amazon. The new ones are mostly expensive gimmicks. The old safety razor works just as well, and is easier to work in my mind, since there’s weight to it.
Invest in some quality aftershave. Back when I was clean-shaven, I found an Old Spice one I liked. It smelled nice, and made the razor burn go away.
Also, if your facial hair is thin, or patchy, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, I couldn’t grow a full beard till I was almost 30. Lots of dudes can’t ever grow a lumberjack beard. Remember though, with facial hair, it’s kind of an all or nothing thing. Half-stache’s don’t look great, so think long and hard about growing stuff out.
You’ll be fine.
Get a full face respirator. I am so glad I bought one years ago. I've used it many times. It's the best dust mask and eye protection you'll ever own. And a good one with the right kind of filters will even keep foul smells out.

Money well spent, and not just for your diaper changes.
This is a good book to read about children and sleep. Developing good sleep habits is very important.
Buy a tube of this and give it to your wife/partner on like feeding #6 and she will love you forever. Lansinoh Lanolin Cream
Since the other dad gave you some subreddit advice, I’ll give you some college/laptop advice.
I’m closer to your age that your dads, so college is fairly fresh to me. Here’s what I wish I knew going into it.
Size matters. You’re going to be lugging it around. A 2” thick gaming is powerful, but it’s a bitch to haul around and those fans will sounds like jet engines in class (ask me how I know :/) under 6# is probably a good target
On the flip side - you want a decent sized screen. 15” + so that you have plenty of real estate to work on. Maybe two windows open at once and what not.
For computer specs - 8GB ram is more than enough for word processing, paper writing, and browsing. Overkill. It will let you run most software that you’ll come across unless you’re doing 3D graphics, heavy code compiling or large engineering modeling for class. Ram is too cheap not to go for extra at this point. It’s winning the arms race against software right now.
For storage- 110% get a SSD (solid state drive) for you primary hard drive that you operating system is on. It’s SO SO SO SO much faster than a spinning disc drive. Quieter too. Try and aim for 250 GB of storage on it or more depending on your budget. UNLESS you want a computer with two hard drives. Then you can get a small 50-100 GB SSD for your OS and a few choice programs. And then you’ll also have a bigger storage,cheaper cost, slower HHD for your storing files.
Either way - absolutely get a thumb drive. Something that will hold up. Like this - so that you can always have a backup of the important things.
Erasky Waterproof 64GB USB Flash Drive Thumb Drive Pen Drive Memory Stick with Keychain (64GB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P5YRDQ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wB1VDb3JWVJHB
By the way, back up everything you hold dear. To the cloud AND to a thumb drive or external hard drive. Your laptop WILL get fucked at some point. Maybe fucked on. Spilt beer on. Dropped. Stolen. Bad updates. Battery explosion. Something will happen. Probably during finals week when you need it least. Plan for it.
Maybe even check into the 4 year warranty so that you never have to worry if you have the cash to fix your computer your junior year. It’s all prepaid, even if slightly more expensive in the long run. Your paying for the peace of mind
Dell, Lenovo, asus, Acer, Samsung, and Toshiba are all good starting points.
The guys in the other sub can help with the details, but this is the broad strokes of what I would buy if I was going back to school.
This link is for an older edition, but it's an excellent book to get started with. Reader's Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual
Mitten Cuffs, bro. We used them on our little dude, it didn't stop the scratching all together but it reduced it nonetheless.
I give new parents this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Trimmer-Fansidi-Upgraded-Electric-Fingernails/dp/B073VBYNH4/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=ejCVa4P-KjSzUU488Svr6Q&hsa_cr_id=9209226360101
Basically a power tool for dealing with baby fingernails.
The many listings are a bit confusing since I don't understand the lingo, but is this it?
