Anybody else has the same experience?
With razors that have a pretty large bevel angle (like those with a thick spine, shorter blade);
My shaving angle needs to as close to my face as possible, even flat against it.

With smaller bevel angles, (thinner spines, larger blades for example) I can utilise a larger shaving angle, a spine’s width away from the face.

With the larger bevel angles, shaving with any other angle than flat against the face only provides for a tuggy harsh bad feeling shave. But once I put it flat against my face, excellent. The bevel angle is probably too large for what would be considered normal or acceptable by many though.

With some where the bevel angle is way too high I just cant manage to get a comfortable shave.

It all reminds me of hand planes and how the bevel angle, bedding angle, etc can aid or make the cut more difficult.
