I've been using DE with my trusty EJ since 2013.
Recently purchased ming shi 2000s (merkur futur lookalike) and it's nice, exept the size which is problematic below the nose.
I'm looking for my next razor. My stubble is a very thick, hard, dense (middle eastern on steroids) and I shave daily.
For me, the EJ is very mild and I need to apply too much pressure to get a good shave.
I've found the more aggressive mingshi less irritating on the skin as it's more efficient and allows a gentle pressure and is more predictable.
My problem areas are chin, and the the sides of the chin, where the hair grows very close to the skin, no upright or anything like that.
What would you recommend I tried next, razor-wise?
I've been thinking about Parker Variant as I'm looking for adjust-ability, but reviews on Amazon criticize it's build quality.
My ming shi 2000s is adjustable but only I only use the mildest setting. It only adjust the gap afaik.
Are there adjustable razor that adjust the blade exposure?
How is parker variant compared to the ming shi 2000s, in adjust-ability. efficiency and aggressiveness?
What other razor would you recommend?
Blades: I've been using Viking's Sword (personna) and soon I'll be getting Feather.
Thanks!
