Don't get me wrong- I hope straight shaving helps my skin, but I'm also doing it because I think it's not only a useful skill, but it's something fairly unique and rewarding to do just because you can.

Well, I'm no dermatologist, but that just sounds like good old fashioned razor burn to me.

IME, a straight gives a shave with the least possible razor burn AFTER you have learned to use it. My first shave with a straight left me pretty much raw, but after only a few weeks I was getting amazing shaves and hardly ever any razor burn.
