I discovered that I can load the blade normally, squeeze the head hard and wiggle it a bit, and the blade will get deeper. This is also easier than loading the blade by pushing it well into the cap.

I also found out that the sound in shaving appears more or less unpredictably. At least, that's how it looks to me as a newbie.
