I looked at some DE/SR shaving vidz in the beginning, and see most ppl do 3 passes with it, i think the reason why you have problem with SR shaving is hesitating, maybe the blade aint so sharpe and also you havent learned which way you hair goes all over the face (usaly its not a mirror of your your other side), like i have: it goes towards my neck on left side and upwards on my right side. Cause with SR you just need a sharp blade and stretched skin and no hesistating cause thats when it gets you. I Also Would Recommend that you get to test Merkur Futur 700 if youre going to continue with DE shaving only, i was amazed with that DE razor compared to the others i have. What SR do you use and do you hone it yourself or send it out to someone else?
