You can get them too harsh. Happens when too much time is spent on high grit finishers. If you're on a synthetic for as long as you say you need to go back and work the bevel more. Never had it right. The cut sounds like drag. Lather was not lubricated enough. I know you say it was but you missed something obviously. If it was too harsh it presents a different feeling not like you've described. Could have been hesitation but at some point you inadvertently made a slicing motion.
