Not after you get used to it. Do it right the first three times and after that you should be good to go. But it does require patience and care. Surprisingly, though, cuts don't hurt as bad as you think. I believe most of the nerves are on the inside. Get kicked there, it's bad for at least a few minutes. Get cut there, it's only bad for a few seconds. I just wouldn't reccomend using aftershave, though.
