Wow! Thank you for all of the suggestions. I will be shaving tomorrow again so I will update on how it goes. I am going to let the blade do the work and try to apply very little pressure and be more conscious of the angle. Like I said, the right side of my face felt fine actually, but the left side was burning. This leads me to believe it was my technique with my non dominant hand.

I'm not completely comfortable yet, but it's getting there.
