I've noticed that with my recently required MÜHLE R41, if I am shaving against the grain on a second pass the razor head very slightly tries to skip and jump over the skin when it's hitting the hairs.
This seems to be the case regardless of angle or pressure and can only really be stopped by holding the razor against the skin with a much greater pressure than I dare use. At present I only hold with an incredibly delicate touch.
I have tried with a variety of blades ranging from a Feather to a Lord and also tried various creams and soaps with lathers that range from thin to thick and various degrees of slickness. The same phenomenon seems to happen regardless.
Has anyone else noticed this with an R41? I'm struggling to find other variables that may be at work here.
