Very strange. This is usually a very efficient razor. What blade did you use and how many times?
It was a 1st use Gillette Silver Blue.  And I agree, it's usually a very efficient razor for me.  i'll use the same blade tomorrow...maybe it was dud
Gents...I had the .68, LOVED her the first few shaves with it, rotated in a Feather, Polsilver and a KAI...rubbed and polished, treated it like it was a million dollar instrument....and then the drag started, thought it was me, reviewed my SOTD’s went back to the same blades, various creams soaps croaps, and nothing.  Total reset, nothing....bloody mess in a few spots, multiple new blades can’t all be duds right? Got rid of her, never looked back.  Have too many choices and too few shaves to mess with something that doesn’t perform for me....am I a quitter? Shave 8-10x a month and I don’t want to waste a shave on a razor that won’t make me happy...that’s my $.02

I tend to ride the bar a bit with this razor.  Maybe that would help dial it in? But Lord knows YMMV.

I was more cautious than usual, setting it to 3/6 until the last few cleanup strokes.
I always forget how loud it is.
