Well...I think it was a combination of things (isn't it always?). I spent a bit more time on the hones with a razor I've been getting good shaves with...putting the blade under a microscope was very enlightening...
Also, picked up some Eucalyptus oil...dilluted a few drops with water in a small spray bottle...spritzed that on a couple of times a day and my skin seems to be responding well.
The biggest thing I think for me however, was PRESSURE. The last two days I've concentrated on "no" pressure and it's been working out great. I think of it as trying to ease up enough to the point where I can really "feel" the blade traveling across the skin. Of course, this isn't really possible, but the mindset has worked so far. Definitely my closest and most comfortable shaves yet.
Thanks again everyone!
