After testing the English Tech I put it in spot 2 moving Ben Hur up to spot 3 on my list :
10 Most agressive ?: Straight razor
9 ?: Shavette
8 Tested: Muhle R41 2013 Open Comb
7 ?: Fatip Piccolo Open Comb
6 ?: Merkur 45C Bakelite
5 Middle of the road Tested: Merkur 34C
4 ?:
3 Tested: Vintage Ben Hur Open Comb
2 Tested: Vintage 1963 English Tech
1 ?: Wilkinson Sword Classic, Dorco PL-602, Gillette Sterling, Or similar
0 Mildest Tested: Just safety razor forgot to load blade
My current take on aggressive vs mild, a sharp blade will effectivly cut whiskers in both but in an aggressive razor closer to the skin than in a mild. I am trying more pressure on razor and extra passes and getting a fine shave from a mild razor but not BBS. If technique slips no problem with a mild razor but with aggressive risking cuts.
