It will eventually not feel so rough, and definitely not painfully so.
However, it is likely to remain "brushy" feeling--the hairs of the beard
are just coarser than hair on the head, though it varies from one
individual to the next.  (Probably has something to do with shaving having
made the hair tend to coarseness.)
