I currently mostly use my Micromatic, but I had the same issue when I was using the milder 1912, so I'm not sure the change of razor would do a lot, but it's also worth a try if corking isn't enough.
If you are willing to pick up another razor the Gem featherweight is an excellent mild razor in my opinion. I find them a fare bit milder than the 1912. You can usually find them for quite reasonable prices in good condition and still fairly reasonable prices in great condition.
