Well thanks for all the input chaps. I shall endeavour to refine my shaving technique; hadn't considered angle as a detrimental factor to blade life, good information.
I am now doing a pre shave routine of a quick face lathering (with my prickly brush, the 'orse is still galloping through the postal service) and then leaving it on to soak into them there bristles while I build a decent volume of lather in a bowl.
I'm performing three passes in the various directions plus touch up on the bits I missed so the blade is getting a full workout, potentially at a sub optimal angle as mentioned.
I'll see how it goes the following 2 days. It was a fantastically close shave again, so I don't have anything to actually complain about. ;-)
