You could do either of those vids with a fairly dull razor and still have it look legit....no?

For me this is the best answer. Every razor is different. Blade gap, balance, SE vs. DE, blade feel. I always default toward letting the razor do the work however I have shaved with a few that require something different. That is why I love shaving with different razors. I always learn something new. Usually though, letting the razor do the work is the right answer. If I'm not getting a good shave with that in mind the culprit is usually blade angle. When altering my angle doesn't work then I might try some very slight pressure...often with bad results.Depends on the razor and handle weight plus balance. For example I do (for the most part) when using my "195", Black Beauty and Big Fellow.
