I'm sure DE blades must vary a little in characteristics.
I've been using Derby, which I am happy with. I'm curious if there is a blade out there that's a little more rigid than the Derby, but my R41 with the Derby has a lot of blade chatter
I'm curious about trying a firmer blade to see if that gives me an even better result.

I used to fight blade chatter a lot as it would irritate my skin so much. You might try another blade as has been suggested especially a sharper blades as they cut cleaner with less hesitation going through the hair. Also consider raising the handle up ever so slightly to "ride the cap" as they say. Riding the cap increases the angle the blade cuts at and can improve your shave as it will cut cleaner. I will do this sometimes if the blade just feels off or a little uncomfortable.

Those little edges have the potential to fly in unexpected directions when the scissor cuts through!Yup, that's my method too. It took me several tries to get a couple I'm happy with. Fortunately any old stainless blade will suffice. I just keep them in an old wrapper labeled. I pretty much only use one in a Pre War Tech under the blade.
