Use the Fat, Luke!
I am in the annual restraint and have been trying to refine my list of items to buy at year end.
I have a tough beard and sensitive skin so my ideal is to find a razor that is efficient but not overly aggressive. I would appreciate any advice you can offer in refining my list!
The razors I have found that work best for me are:

The razors I have found that work best for me are:
- RS10 aggressive plate: wonderful, easy shave, BBS. I can use this daily. My only quibble is that the BBS doesn’t last as long as I’d like
- PAA Ascension in stainless: my sleeper razor. I came back to it after a long time in the drawer. If I buff it can get me the closest of any of my razors
- Fatip Piccolo (old style, bought in 2013 or so): my quickest shaver. A bit rough with repeated use after a few days. The BBS doesn’t seem to last as long as with the PAA.
- Muhle Rocca – too blade feeley for how close it gets me
- Timeless 0.95 SB – causes irritation sometimes, doesn’t shave close enough
- Blackbird OC – too blade feeley. Great on a few days of growth but I can’t use it every day
- iKon tech – for the longest time this was the only razor I’d use. But it’s just too aggressive and would tear my face up. Best razor I have ever used for multiple days growth.
- Razorock Game Changer 0.68 and 0.84 – wonderful razors, but neither is capable of giving me BBS
- Oneblade original – OK, but no fun to use, the BBS only lasted a few hours
- Karve - even the most efficient plates couldn't get me BBS
- Rockwell - even the most efficient plates couldn't get me BBS
- Razorock Game Changer JAWS – the review on this have been outstanding. I am not sure if it will get me BBS given that the .84 SB couldn’t
- Phoenix Starling – never really used GEMs that much but it looks promising
- Occam’s razor enhanced nano – 3 plates, from the looks of it very efficient
- Stirling’s upcoming stainless – this is the one I am most excited about. Two plates, very efficient. Beta users have said it is as efficient as an ikon tech but can be used every day
