I'm giving it a try, but I just don't know what "no pressure" even feels like so I can't be sure if I'm succeeding at eliminating pressure

If your razor is shave ready all you need is to keep your angle low for the ATG pass and use just enough pressure to take the lather off - no more - and don't worry too much 'cause most of us have been where you are.
Let us know how you go.

No pressure is allowing the weight of the blade to do the work. Using too little pressure is possible but unlikely. If you use too little pressure, you may have meager results, but you'll get no razor burn, and that is a good thing.

Where I sometimes get razor burn is on the outside of my neck and it seems to be an angle thing for me.

What Ace is trying to say, do not press on your razor when shaving. All you need is the razor's natural gravity on your face as your pressure. The shaving and does not apply presssure, it only guides the razor during the shaving process. This takes time and many shaves to get the feel for zero pressure.
