8 or 9 / Kai stainless
Today 6 with a Gillette Silver Blue. I felt like a mild three pass shave today. Tomorrow maybe a 7 with the same GSB...
Nice!
I'm a #5 with a Voskhod or lately, I have been using Tiger Premium Stainless blades and they are really nice.
They might move up to one of very few I purchase in bulk (Astra SP and Voskhod are the others)

Wide open at setting #9 for me, whether it's Toggle, Fat Boy, Slim, Super 84 or Super 109 - and I know, 9 on a Super Adjustable is an 8 on the older models, but it's as far as it goes. Blade used to be Voskhod, or perhaps a Gillette Permasharp Stainless, but lately I've switched to an amazing blade, the Silver Star from Egypt (Lord, I think).
Setting BST... not a fan.
I typically throw in a Personna lab blue and set the razor at 7. Great shave!

Hardcore!
Here's a comment from the League of Extremely Mild Shavers... I set my Fatboy at 2 and use a Feather blade. Works great for me when i Use a DE. I always end up with an extremely good, close shave. My normal/go to razors are straights. They are even milder on my face and neck.

I don't have a set setting, it basically depends on the flavor of blade Ive chosen for the month....if a blade is not as sharp as a Feather/Kai I tend to crank it up around 7 to 9....if its a Feather/Kai sharpness I dial it down to 3 to 1. I let the weepers tell me to dial it down a click or 2 no matter what blade I'm using.

Ive been using the Lord SS blades and liking them alot. Had my first DFS with no weepers yesterday.
7 or 9, always an odd number!
Blade, no particular...

With a few days growth I'll start at 7 and knock it down to 5 for the second pass. I use Personna Reds in all my razors.
