Either changing the blade helped or I was better with the angle. I wasn't having the stalling this time, but it also just didn't feel natural. The blade was moving, but something just felt off. I did the full three passes and left it at that with tons of alum sting. I'm trying to remember, but I don't think I've gotten a overall good shave out of the Weck yet, I think those were all with the SS and a guarded blade. I did have a few moments of thinking about pressure, but most of today was worrying about stretching and keeping the blade moving. I again noticed I wasn't getting the cushion and slickness from the Nuàvia. When my fingers were pulling skin in an area I just shaved it was like I shaved so closely that there was nothing left at all. Totally dry. I'm thinking I need to interpret that as too much pressure for sure.
To me, the Nuàvia Verde was a mix between Nera and Rossa. There was sweet component mixed with the complex floral/baking spices. I still prefer the Rossa out of the 4.
