Is it okay to add a slight horizontal motion to a stroke with a straight in order to slice cleaner? I have found doing so makes my passes much more effective.
Slicing Motion?

So long as you don't cut your nose off in the process!
slight would be the word....
very very slight....
very very slight....
all the time, just make sure it's always moving in the Y plane when moving in the X plane. you can even add in the Z plane if you do mild scoops. as for the 4th dimension, that sounds dangerous beyond comprehension..
I believe that would open up a wormhole due to causing a rip in the space/time continuum. Either that or gate to hell.

You may like to try a guillotine stroke as well. That's where the razor is held at a diagonal to the direction of travel. A bit less risky. I nearly cut myself this morning as I was slicing thru a small area. Pain but no blood, thankfully.
You can actually go pretty extreme with that slicing motion, but I would suggest a very flat
angle, low pressure and slick lather. It works great for me on the jawline and chim ATG passes, but YMMV.

Some gents recommend this.
I don't, but then again I shave with pressure. If it works better for you than by all means do it. I find its easier to cut myself, however.

At times I'll use a stroke something like that. It seems to be a bit risky, but if you take your time and are careful it gets the job done much better.
