Good luck comrade.

Forgo Mud !
Big blade gap, biggish exposure, pretty aggressive, quite a bit of blade chatter. In the hands of a novice, possibly deadly, but did one pass pretty close on a three day beard with a fresh Voskod.

It's... alive!
You might like to give this is try, if the razor head allows for it:
Just before you fully close the door, gently pull the blade towards the door to bend the blade while closing the door fully. It's literally the last half a turn or so before the door closes. If you'd manage to bend the blade so it's resting against the door at least partly, it should feel much milder and the chatter should be much reduced.
I don't have this particular razor, so not sure it's going to work, but your comment suggests it should be doable.
Works a treat with my OC Pearl TTO. :-D That Pearl TTO, btw., has enough space between the baseplate bits and the doors to take a shim without any danger of damaging the closing mechanism. Fun razor. :-D

That is good advice, and it might work, though the doors don't close by a simple twist mechanism -
