As an experienced DE shaver I know that my skin does not take kindly to very sharp DE blades. Even with the lightest of touch I end up with a few nicks when using say, a Kai or Feather. So I get a more comfortable but still close shave with blades not quite so sharp.

As a newcomer to the world of straight shaving, I wonder if it is possible to have a blade that is too sharp for comfort for those with a sensitive skin? Or is there no such thing as too sharp in this sphere of shaving? And if there is such a thing is it just a question of laying off stropping until it settles down?
