Absolutely! I was just chatting about this - seems I don't get as close as I want this way - but I still prefer the comfort to closeness and potential razor burn

Ah but if the angle is very low you can use pressure without too much risk of razor burn, because you're pressing the razor *sideways* into your face instead of edge-first into your face.

This may be true but I am anxious to avoid avoid pressure in general. Will try it cautiously and report back - hopefully it won't result in too much damage
