Persisted and got better with the Schick E3. The secret is not overthinking it.
The problem is overthinking is my jam, baby!

I’ve always shaved on the blade, changing angles wouldn’t work for me.@Ankerwycke , aside from the changes imposed by stretching skin and intentionally adding pressure, do you otherwise use the same angle?

Yes, between the top cap and base, the edge is constantly on my skin.That terminology is new to me. Do you mean so the side of the blade is against your skin? Do you mean the edge is constantly on your skin?
Glad it made sense It’s the way I learnt to shave, and the way I’ve always shaved. I’d never heard of steep and shallow angles until I joined B&B.The “on the blade” angle worked much better with my razor holding a GEM blade. Smoother and more whisker hungry. My brain likes shaving with it flat against my face, my skin likes the barest hint of safety bar and blade (it uses the side of the blade as a cap), and my whiskers were terrified either way. Thank you, @Ankerwycke !
