I've been wet shaving with double edge razors for over four years now. Over time, I've come to appreciate razors that I wouldn't have even considered using when I first started shaving. Currently, my favorite razor is a stainless steel Muhle R41. It's considered by many B&B members to be a fairly aggressive razor...not to be taken lightly. I suppose that it would be natural to shave with razors that are increasingly aggressive. However, I still find it a bit of a mystery as to why and how this happened. Is it really just a matter of increased skill/better technique? Or is it more than that? I'm about to order another Wolfman WR1 head. At first I wanted to get the same gap as the one I had, but in an OC configuration. But after some serious thought, I realized that would be a terrible mistake. I'm increasing the gap on this next razor and going OC. It's time to take another step up in aggressiveness. When I first got my WR1 .74 SB, I was upset because I considered it to be too aggressive. However, I continued to shave with it and now it seems easy to use. What happened?
