Eureka!
The video I watched for how to use this razor showed a guy using many short strokes. Today I decided to flip that and make fewer long instead - so I slowly went from the top of my cheek to the jawline in one motion instead of lots of little ones. I thought that the fewer times I lifted the razor the fewer chances to get the angle wrong. The results were amazing! So much more comfortable and closer! My face feels great!! What a huge difference!

Bulgari Man in Black today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Rapira Platinum Lux still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Bulgari Man in Black EdT.
