A sharp razor is a must, a mostly sharp razor will pull. You will end up using to much pressure because it is a little dull and end up with a face full of fire.
Keep a light grip, dont hold the razor to tight, use light no pressure strokes on the face. You could always go with two passes on the face and a single against the grain stroke on the neck.
