Wrong.
By inserting an angle, you create lateral movement. If you look at it from the razor's point of view: For every mm down, you go 0.x mm sideways.
Ergo there is lateral movement. You don't perceive it because it is hidden by the fact that you move in a straight line, but the edge itself goes partially sideways.
