Not literally, but almost. I completed my first entire shave with a straight. I was previously only doing the right side of my face and neck. It went well including my non dominant hand. Not as difficult as I thought. My technique has gotten better as the shave is more comfortable and my blade feels like it is sharper. All good signs.

However, when I was done, my face was on fire. It actually still is. My shave prep consisted of a hot shower, a pre shave oil and a very good lather. I'm thinking I may be pressing down too hard with the razor, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable during the shave.....only after. Any thoughts?
