Show off! :D
I've wondered sometimes about how thick lather might actually inhibit that closest 'finishing' shave. Besides your example, consider also the common practice of a cold water last pass to 'clean up'. I wouldn't advocate a latherless shave, but sometimes less may be more. It makes sense that a thinner lather might help you see and get closer.
Also, as you move through this single pass, do you have a long continuous stroke over each area or multiple, short, stroke-re-strokes, or somewhere in between?

Water only for a final touch up is a good way to get those sneaky buggers thinking they were safe hiding under a coat of lather.
