Correct. The Feather is less forgiving than my regular straight, which didn't complain much when I went ATG on the first pass.

It's funny: I went to a Feather because I couldn't shave with a straight without significant irritation. I found the Feather irritated my skin worse, but the things I learned from it helped me figure out how to use a traditional straight without irritating my skin.

The Feather is a great tool, but I prefer my traditional straights now.
