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 ?
