I have been using the Parker Variant recently, first off with a Feather but that was a bit scratchy even after giving it the cork treatment. After a few other blade types I used a Gillette Silver Blue, it was great even better than Pol Silver Super Iridium which to be fair was very good. So I conclude it is a trial and error situation and to compound matters no two faces are the same. I have spent a small fortune on this that and the other all claimed to be the best thing since sliced bread but can narrow it down to. 1. Good prep. 2. Technique. and 3. A reasonable razor, doesn't have to be expensive, that feels good in the hand. You will know when you pick it up.
I currently have only three that fit the bill and there are over twenty in the cabinet.
