Dear friends,
I love wet shaving and I own several DE and SE razors.
The adjustables I have include the Fat boy the slim the futur the supply provision the pal and the Rockwell 6S.
I would like to buy a true modern adjustable but I'm baffled by all the new choices out there.
I read that most of them try to duplicate the shaving characteristics of the Merkur progress and some of them also look a bit like it. The problem being, I don't particularly care about the progress as I find it not smooth enough whichever setting I use YMMV of course. I tried to reacquaint myself with it yesterday but the result was as usual. Rough and raw. My Rockwell however on plate 6 is a dream to shave with and so is my Fatboy on 7. The reason I want a new adjustable is that after I watched the MadScientist's video claiming that the first pass should be more aggressive than the second and third still milder than the second, I tried it and worked for me, thus the enquiry for an adjustable.
I joined the Kickstarter for the Rockwell model T but I would like to know which of these new offerings are as smooth and effective like my Rockwell.
