I don't know if I'd want any more really aggressive razors .......... but they are nice to use occasionally for a change of pace.

Curses! He pokes my RAD and gives a plausible reason all in the same post - and I happen to know that a horn razor is going to look well with a new brush still in the making. Does it ever end???

Well for Chrissakes don't buy a new one as I'm sure I could be persuaded to part with mine!

Yep, the Stahly is a wonderful 'auto pilot' kinda head....shaving by only muscle memory is plenty to keep from hurting yourself. You already know it's gonna be a LOT milder than your other new tool, so it'll be quite the contrast.

Well you are definately not wrong, Doc! 'Auto-pilot' is dead right - except it tempted me to press in a couple of times over my awkward places. Smooth as smooth

Best I can say is that between 'head flat to your face' and 'steep angles' lies the right place/angle - I found a range of good angles from 'a bit laid back' to 40-ish degrees.
I wonder if the problem is more about the long handle. I can imagine folk who normally use short handles taking a firm grip of the Tradere's large handle - there is a lot of weight to carry. I held it lightly in two and three finger tips - including one thumb tip, obviously - at the point of balance. I held the weight of the razor whilst it lightly glided over my face. Dodgy recently said it took him a few goes to get the technique of a long handle down. I only ever use long handles - except for occasional fun shaves, anyway - '04 Replica, stubby slant.
