Folks, I appreciate the feedback. A little history, back on pages 14 and 15 (I think) of this thread:
I started with the R1. Didn't think it was too aggressive, I thought it was "rough". I swapped it out for the M2. I still thought it was rough. Then I traded for the M1.
I think there is a very distinct difference between rough and aggressive. I thoroughly enjoyed the R41, and although I didn't feel it was rough, it most certainly was aggressive. I kept going down in "aggressiveness" to get less "roughness". I think that lead me to "smooth", but not as aggressive as I'd like.
I know it's convoluted, but that's my journey.
I think Chris.Hale nailed it. The M1 is not equivalent to the NEW, but I wanted to avoid "rough".
I'll give it a few more and let the contingent know. Believe me, folks, I wanted this to be the RAD ender. I had the NEWs first, otherwise it might've been. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is an awful razor; in fact, quite the opposite. It's a splendid razor. It's just that it isn't the pinnacle I'd hoped it would be.
