The razor in question is a Wadsworth XLNT 5/8 that I got from Whippeddog. It was the blemished sight unseen deal for $28. I have recently picked up a Tennis 11/16 roundpoint. I have shaved with it twice so far. I'll keep using it and keep the whippeddog razor in reserve. Slowing down and concentrating have also cut down the bleeding a bit. Thanks to all that have responded!
