I usually shave with a Merkur Futur and I get good consistent results with it. I recently got a Merkur 39c which I've been using for about a week and a half. I was getting on okay with the 39c but was getting some irritation and the odd weeper.
When shaving with the Futur I hold it quite near to the head and I'd been holding the 39c in the same way. This morning I changed it a bit and held it right near the bottom, almost on the blade release knob. This resulted in a fantastic shave, especially on my neck, where I'd been having some issues. I guess this new grip means that it's very difficult to apply any pressure.
So that's what I've found, a different grip for different razors. I'd be interested to hear if you guys do similar when you change razors.
