Seeing those hairs cut below the skin surface has convinced me I need to experiment using a tiny bit more pressure. There's no way I get that result with the light strokes I normally use.

thanks for posting this.

Totally agree.
A comfortable shave means what it says. After the shave your face should feel
shaven and comfortable. It's not rocket science.
Incidentally, the art of straight razor shaving has nothing to do with magnification but an awful lot to do with feel. Its a sense for which they haven't developed a mechanical aid as yet and I doubt they ever will.
Sorry, I digress.
Excellent points. You don't have to press down hard for the razor to catch the hair under the skin. A normal stroke and a very sharp razor will do that.
I think your point is well taken that magnification has nothing to do with shaving either. Magnification is magnification and shaving is shaving. Magnification just shows us some things that we could only guess about otherwise. It takes some of the mystery out, but whether that's a good thing or a bad thing depends on each individual's personality.
