I've gotten in the habit of paying extra attention to pressure because when I first got into straight shaving I used to use a good bit of pressure and didn't pay much to angle. I guess that was part of my curve. I'll be wet shaving a year next month and am now confident with my technique.

One thing I did notice is whenever I use any cream or soap with menthol my face gets raw during and for a while after the shave. Maybe my skin is more sensitive then I thought.
