This happens to me when I consciously try to push the blade into the hairs instead of simply passing through them. You said you were careful to use very light pressure, which makes me wonder still why your neck burned badly. Maybe one of your many passes was too heavy or at a steep angle or was over skin that was not well stretched. Keep practicing and it will get better!



As a side note, it would be really neat to see a video of someone shaving with a straight for the first time, wouldn't it? It would probably be quite long though
