    Default Burning when lathering

    Ok, for a newbie who is trying to get into straight razor shaving, I am just starting out and bought a boar bristle brush and Williams Mug soap. I have even tried the Proraso shave cream. I don't even have a straight razor yet (working on it) but am still using cartridge razors like I have been for the last 12 years or so.

    Anyway, when I put the soap/cream on, my face kind of stings. Is this normal when starting out? Is this just my face getting used to the brush?

    Anyone experience this? I know I am not using the silvertip badger brush, but I didn't think it would sting!

    Thanks,
