Would you say you were applying that much pressure? Btw that’s with proGuards blades which I’m really liking. They need a bit more pressure but I get absolutely zero irritation.
It’s been a long time since I shaved wit a cartridge so I don’t know but I do agree that more pressure is required than is prudent to apply with a DE razor. If you watch Shane’s welcome to the Blackland family (Vector) video, he does address pressure so I went in with my eyes open on that point. I think the Vector is a masterpiece of design- it’s minimalist - it has everything that you need and nothing that you don’t.
