There have been many posts on the Weber ARC and DLC. However, the majority of comments actually deal with the look and design. Others post their comments based on one or two shaves. I'd like some input regarding the ARC based on greater usage. Today I shaved with it (maybe the fourth or fifth time) using a Gillette 7 OC black, and Simpsons Shaving Cream. I could hardly feel the blade in both passes of a 2-pass shave. I was utterly blown away. But after rinsing I noticed that it was far from the closest shave I've ever had.
What say you about the closeness of the Weber ARC shave? With respect to aggressiveness, can you rate it from 1 to 10; 1 being the Muhle R89/EJDE89, 5 the Progress set at 2.5-3, and 10 being the Fatip or R41 (latter would be eleven, but close enough).
I know that I should probably shave with it more regularly and work out any bugs in my technique, but as Confucious said -"Man with one face cannot be facile with all razors." Thus, I'd love some input, because as I said, the smoothness blew me away...if I can just get it closer by even a whisker, I'd be pleased. Get it? Closer by a whisker...while discussing shaving...
