Help a DE newbie with aggressiveness

[mstrunck]

What setting on a Merkur Progress ( from 1 to 5, with half steps) will make the aggressiveness of the Progress roughly equivalent to the aggressiveness of a Merkur HD?

Setting 3 on a Merkur Progress is equivalent to Merkud HD 34C, while Merkur HD 38C is almost like setting 2 on a Progress (probably 2.5)

Thanks a lot! Using setting 1 I was wondering if I was the only one in need of a 6 pass shave
