I guess a razor with the right exposure could be used to shave on the "shave plane", but surely something with more positive exposure would be dragging the blade across your face?
And how does the blade make contact with the face when there is negative exposure? Unless it causes you to use more pressure, which isnt something people usually recommend.
Well for me personally too much blade exposure can feel like dragging a blade across my face, yes. For me. As for how much is too much well that depends of course and is personal. Some folk seem to negate that feeling by shaving steep. The R41 seems like a good example where a lot on the Forums claim they shave steep. That's not how I shave myself but each to their own. If I feel too much uncomfortable blade I sell the razor rather than resorting to scraping the hair off.
Razors with negative or neutral blade exposure can work very well with a little pressure, regardless of 'best advice' on Forums.
