You are one lucky bastard to have me for a buddy. I can help!!! Yes, I know all about the various issues that can occur from 'corking' a blade. Years ago when that concept was first being debated in the Smart forum, I got to follow along. So let's examine some possible potential culprits.
First of all, is the three cuts your normal amount? Even one extra cut can make a difference in the shave. You have to be consistent and not vary things.
Second, not every blade needs the same amount of 'taming', so that you may need 1-2 strokes more, or even less strokes than usual. You just never know till you try it.
Then you have the material being used. Is this your regular crap paper roll? If the answer is no, then you may have to adjust your cut count.
There's a few other things to watch for, but these are the most basic ones. Paul, I think you should make it a point to fine tune 'corking' into an art form. Really, it should be pretty easy, with only 6-7 things that can change the shave.
My pleasure adding my expertise here,
Mart
