hi - my razor is an unbranded open comb and while it seems well made (the blade doesnt slip around or anything) i wonder whether it is too aggressive.
my beard is quite tough, and skin fairly sensitive - but i cant do more than 2 passes - 1 WTG and 1 mild XTG. the result is very good - a damn fine shave, not BBS but then i dont expect that. i could almost get away with 1 WTG pass - it takes that many whiskers off.. is that too much?
i dont know how i could do a "beard reduction pass" - its all or nothing.. i wonder whether i need an adjustable.. so i can do maybe 3 passes, removing less hair each time.
if i need a new razor which one to get is the next question! i'm thinking of getting a merkur futur (preferable as its available locally) or a merkur progress... i would just get the futur but it seems to be a love it or hate it type of thing...
