A fellow newbie will probably give the best advice- so here goes.

First of all, welcome!
As far as razor burn, that can be attributed to a few things (although I assume you had Lynn hone your razor first before you recieved it!)
First and foremost, razor burn virtually unavoidable for your first shave or 2 (or 3). Your skin has to adjust and exfoliate... infact, I wouldn't be too suprised if your braun electric did the same thing to your face right at first. Once your skin adjusts (which should just take a shave or 2), you'll be fine.
Secondly, watch closely and make sure you are stropping properly and going through enough strokes. 20 is the low end, to be sure.
Don't deviate too much from the 30 degree rule right at first and don't put very much pressure on your face!

If you are doing everything else correctly and your razor is honed then don't worry...it's a normal process your skin goes through...an adjustment phase...let us know how it is after another couple shaves.
