Not quite, to many things. My razor (Dovo Best Quality 5/8) came from SRD. Didn't strop before hand (I've done my research). My lather was far from awesome, but only lathering in small sections before wiping it away with the blade mostly negated this.

Most importantly: I distinctly remember feeling the rounded point against my skin when I was chasing the "tropical storm" around my adams apple & neighboring hollows. I noticed feeling the point after the pass, as I was focusing on angle & pressure. Since there wasn't any bleeding, it was not a top concern. Too much pressure? Sorta. Yes, the point got a bit too much pressure on the neck passes, but only as a result of not paying attention to the whole blade.
