Hi, so I have been shaving with the long handled Weishi for about 8 months, Astra blades. I have found it great to get me started on DE shaving, but the only way I have been getting a close enough shave with it is if I unscrew it sufficiently - I now shave with it practically loose.
I am getting lovely shaves from it, but being unscrewed means I never know exactly how agressive it is and, when it is so far unscrewed that it is actually loose, it can be a bit of a menace.
I am thinking of moving to a more agressive razor (and maybe getting some Feather blades), and was wondering what people think might work for me. Would a slant or adjustable be a good way forwards or should I just go for an open comb?
I have a dark beard (where the snow hasn't yet settled...) but don't think it is particularly thick, and have no idea how sensitive my skin is (razor burn seems to have come from not being careful enough and / or too many passes).
Ideally, I'd love to get bbs on a single or double pass...
