Black is a tad milder. The black handle super adjustable (black beauty) is the mildest razor I have ever used (when set all the way down to the lowest setting)
i also think .5 futur is as mild as slim 1

looks like i need a super adjustable then
The super adjustable, though it can certainly go mild, is also a fabulous shaver at more aggressive settings. I get great shaves from it (check that, -=outstanding shaves=-) on settings 5-7.

I shaved exclusively for the past 45 years with a super adjustable (the one in the previous pic). Never looked for anything else in all that time. It is an exceptional razor and if you get one you will enjoy it for a long time to come.
I started out using it on 3 and 1 (3 for the first pass and 1 for the other passes.. hey I was a kid... what can I say). Lately I use it on 4-5.
Just remember to loosen the TTO doors before changing the adjustment setting.
If you need or want to change the adjustment while shaving, loosen the doors, make your setting change, then tighten the doors back on the blade.

I would say a Black Tip Superspeed - I find it significantly milder then the Tech / Krona / 40' SS that others have listed...
Now that you're totally confused, get a Gillette adjustable and set it at one.
Yeah, I'm going to say go for the adjustable too. I have a '30s tech that's super mild, and an EJ that is as well, but the tech is just as mild on 1, and has OPTIONS.. we like options.
Unlock the TTO doors on ALL Gillette adjustable razors before you make changes to the adjustment setting. You will find that the adjustments are easier to make and more reliable if you do not have the blade locked in place when you are trying to change the blade exposure on the razor.

well i am looking for a body hair removing razor, so i am also looking at the lady gillette
I think using a regular cartridge razor would be better/safer for pubic hair removal.
SS Flares Blacktip Bluetip
I'm a noob w/ sensitive skin, have been using a Merkur 23C & am waiting on a just purchased 40's Fatboy Tech ( @ABTT, are they a respectable outfit?). I'm hoping this is a mild razor, as posts seem to indicate.....
