Id say go for it, because i am VERY bristly i need quite an aggressive razor otherwise i end up irritated from taking too many passes or trying to use too much pressure, i throw in my blade of choice and crank it to 6.5 and i am always promised a great shave, even if im drunk as a skunk. :lol:
Give super iridium blades a go, nearly as sharp as a feather but very smooth they're a favourite on b&b with good reason.
Have a google for the mergress, it's a progress but worked on a bit to remove all the faults along with that stumpy bit of plastic at the bottom, it's a classy razor.
