A beautiful lather from the boar today. 45 seconds to 1 minute load times have been working well.

If I "ride the cap" on this razor I can at least get through a pass without tugging. Applying some pressure to the top of the cap while the edge maintains a light pressure for the cut is the only way I'm getting by on this blade. It's doesn't seem ideal, but it mostly gets the job done. If I adjust the angle any closer to the edge to get the more efficient cut, I get tugging and irritation, regardless of the pressure I use.
