This is most noticeable on Feather AC blades for the Feather replaceable blade straight razor, but safety razor blades behave similarly but maybe less noticeably so.
I get a week’s worth of excellent shaves from Feather blades, but found that they reward a light touch and respond well to some basic pre-shave routine to moisten and soften the skin before the shave.
