I have a theory as to why this is, based on the theory of sharpness being a combination of penetrating resistance (determined by the edge width) vs cutting friction (determined by teflon/polish).

And I thought I was done with this

I absolutely positively disagree here, "for my face" the sharper/smoother the edge the lighter the touch the lighter the touch the smoother the stubble feels growing back... That sharp stubble feeling for me along with the irritation that follows, comes from pressing the edge into the skin and cutting the hair at more of an angle....Or using a not sharp enough blade....
