You just need to find the setting right for you. There should be NO pain involved in getting a BBS shave. The trick is finding the lowest setting that works, rather than the highest setting you can tolerate.

I keep mine one at 1. You should be putting any pressure down at all, it should glide and be painless, sounds like your using a dull blade with bad soap/cream.
