I know skme other members here have mentioned the same so that could possibility.

But most likely it is just you gotten used to a new blade.
I can't speak for Speckey, but for me, I am pretty sure this is not the case. I have shaved with razors off of my Naniwas and the shaves have been comfortable. I think this is a case where everyone is different though. I don't think my face is sensitive enough to distinguish between the edges off of different stones YET.

With that said, I have been eyeing the coticules on the Superior Shave website but I have no idea what to get.
