I just stumbled across these enjoyable and interesting postings. I too prefer less aggressive razors finding the AS-D2 a fine razor. Also PILS is an excellent, though weighty, mild razor. My favorite mild razor though is the Weber DLC, my "go to" daily razor. Though saying that I am also very happy with the OneBlade razor, probably a sacrilege to many in this forum but this single edge is almost as mild and forgiving as the Weber. All 4 of these razors give me excellent shaves with virtually no irritation or inflammation. I generally use Feather blades in all, I know what I'm getting with their blades.
