I have shaved with a DE (the same blades that are used in a shavette) and for me a straight razor is more forgiving. I have less irritation after a straight razor shave than I do after a DE shave....

I'm glad you made some progress. No pressure really means NO PRESSURE! The lightest touch possible. I still think a straight blade will be more forgiving than a shavette and that you'll have more...
