It's Basically all down to your technique.I currently use a Feather AS-D2, nice and smooth, but maybe too smooth.
While "mild" looks like to be the best choice to start with, I do experience problems as not feeling the blade, I tend to put too much pressure on the razor. I am currently testing shims (2 blades) giving a bit more of exposure and so some aggressiveness. I do feel better feeling the blade on my skin and got better shave with less irritation, especially on the neck.
I have a set of blades to experience with, currently on Astra Superior Stainless, and improving my technique everyday.
Is it that I just prefer more agressive razors?
What about the Rockwell 6S? There's a nice new set with the 3 plates on sale locally. It would help me trying different aggressiveness ?

Hello there!, and welcome to TSR.
Whatever the razor you shave with it'll takes a few shaves to adjust. Technique & shaving confidence,and finding soap or cream that is suited to your skin type, are the key to good shaving results.
My humble advice to you is 'Shave the lather from your face,rather than the stubble'! this will help you to tell yourself to let the weight of the razor & blade do the work with virtually no pressure when shaving.
I always apply this method when shaving with all my razors ' aggressive or non-aggressive. '..Any razor can be aggressive if not treated with respect of the person that is using it...'A bad worker always blames his tools'
Last but not least, don't expect too much too soon.!.Go for comfortable irritation free shaves, don't go for BBS shaves..Go for enjoyable ones that cause you no irritation or discomfort...Enjoy your shaves.
Regards. B
