I agree, you shave with the blade, so the blade is the first thing to suspect.
A despined GEM blade is shorter front to back, make sure the blade is pushed all the way forward into the stops.
Occasionally you will find a razor where the cutout in the push tab hits the handle before the blade is all the way forward, slightly flattening that piece will repair that. Notice I said slightly, it doesn't take much, it's not a noticeable thing.

Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
