I have shaved 3 times now. I first posted that my lather was drying out but I think that there is more to it.

How much pressure am I supposed to put on my face? I know with a DE you use only the weight of the razor, but what about a straight razor?

After last nights shave my face was hot like I was blushing and it felt like a mild sunburn. Under my chin/throat area is very irritated. I still haven't figured out a way to hold the razor and shave below my jaw line on my right side, left is ok (I'm right handed).

I feel like sometimes the blade is perpendicular to my skin and I'm just scraping then I remember to find my angle. Remember I'm a new guy

Thanks

Mark
