Blade selection is important. I only use blades in my OT razors that are very sharp and very smooth. For me that means GSB's, Swedes, and GBE's. Even ASP's don't make the cut.
I really want to like an OLD style (but can't seem too)

I find the Med Prep to be by far the smoothest of the sharper blades for me. It is definitely my go to blade and has been for a while now. I'll certainly try others in this OT though. I've never used a GBE and with the prices people are asking for them on ebay (10 pack for $16.00) I probably never will.
The Med Prep is a sharp blade and more forgiving than a Feather. I have found that the Personna Red is even more so. From what I have read, the problem of sensitive skin falls into a category of its own. I think that if you perservere with the Old Type you will eventually reach a satisfactory conclusion and reveal weaknesses in, and improve your technique at the same time. The question comes down to...is it worth the trouble?? The easy solution is to stick with what works in the present. My view is that anything that improves technique is worth the trouble, but that's just my opinion.
