Hello friends,
most of us love and have the 6S on the rotation, albeit some of us find even plate 6 with a Feather, not to be aggressive enough and wish there was a plate 7.
Today I shaved with it @6 and added three shims (clipped used blades ) and viola, the R6 became as aggressive as I'd have wished on the first place. I started with three shims for the first pass and that was wonderful, albeit not as smooth as the original un-shimmed R6. For the second pass I took out one shim and carried on.
My findings are that with three shims the efficiency is much improved but with a slight loss of smoothness which the R6 is so famous about. With two shims however the smoothness remains as originally intended. Due to the added agressiveness however the shave cannot be as carefree as with just the 6 plate alone and witness of that are the few weepers I managed to get.
