If I use something more aggressive as R41 or 1912 I tend to skip next day shaving
Maybe I needed to use term efficient. I don't use any pressure with any of my razors. R41 and 1912 just shave bit closer and there is really nothing to shave next day.Why? My suggestion would be either you are using too much pressure with the r41 and damaging the skin or the wrong angle with your other razors resulting in a sub part shave.
The r41 can't remove MORE hair than the others, unless you find the others are leaving some?
I don't have sensitive skin as you do but I don't do atg either except part of the neck straight in the middle under the chin. I'm daily shaver for nine months now and before that used to shave every 2.5-3 days. I find that atg is absolutely not necessary for daily shave as it doesn't let any hair to grow for next day. That is in my case. As I tried so many razor/blade combos I now have selected best combos for every razor I have. This gives me so close shaves that my skin is almost bbs and stays smooth almost all day long. Next morning there is just enough hair to shave. If I use something more aggressive as R41 or 1912 I tend to skip next day shaving. Key is to find what suits you best and set the goal. If you need to be clean shaved for work or just love to be shaved you need to get it most comfortable for you and your skin.

There are more variables then blade angle. Blade exposure, how firmly blade sits in razor, weight of the razor etc. If all the razors shave the same way there would be one razor only. With all the razors I tend to find most comfortable angle to shave with. Some use shallow angle with r41 some don't. I used ball end tech yesterday and it gave me pretty good result but it can't match r41 in time that smoothness lasts.Maybe this is a bit of a thread hijack but I don't see why you couldn't achieve this same thing with any other safety razor. They are all capable of doing the same thing - it's the blade on your face and the angle you're using that give you the close shave, not the handle.
WTG and two XTG gets me to a point where I can only feel stubble if I rub my face ATG and I stop there. Going ATG hurts as my stubble's coarse and no matter how sharp the blade it pushes the hair back on itself before it cuts. When I have suffered through an ATG pass I do get BBS, but after about four hours I can feel stubble ATG again so it's pointless.
Skipping ATG gets me a very close shave and most importantly it does it with no discomfort or irritation.

I hope that was a mistype, pube shaving gets some of the chaps quite discombobulated.Very well said. Especially if one shaves daily, there really is no need for ATG. But I shave at night, so my best window of closeness goes to waist
