A nice CCS shave tonight using another PAA CK6 base soap, Will-O-the-Wisp.  I was frustrated at first, thinking that I had once again made the lather too thick.  So I bagged the DX after one full pass, switched to the Sabre, and realized that the lather was great - and I had tons of it!  This brings me once again back to diagnosing why the DX seems to drag so much.  No worries though; it's not the first time I've wrestled with a technique conundrum, and it won't be the last.

BTW, to my admittedly aging nose, PAA Will-O-the-Wisp and Oleo Windy City Barbershop seem scent-wise to fit like hand and glove.
