Ever spend any time on the teeter totter as a kid?

The farther something is from the fulcrum, the less force is needed to move it. When the blade makes contact with whiskers, there is resistance. When the heel is used, there is less push back (torque) against the blade because it is closer to the holding hand.

This won't help if the blade is dull, but I suspect this is not the issue since there was no mention of the razor not shaving fine for the rest of the face.
