I haven't found too many threads that specifically discuss the comparison between these 2 models of razors.
I've had the 0.84 SB for a good 3 years now. The razor is by far the most comfortable/smooth one I've ever had (relative to my other razors: DE89,Fatip Piccolo, Muhle R41, Merkur 39C) but sometimes the blade feel can be a bit too much for my liking..
Lately, I've been shaving less frequently, so I grow a fair amount of stubble between shaves, and even though the 0.84 SB gets the job done(On occasion, I've even shaved a months worth of growth of a decent beard with the 0.84 SB with relative ease) I was wondering what the 0.68 OC is like in terms of smoothness and blade feel?
I'm looking for a Razor that has that same smoothness or even more due to the rigid blade clamping but less blade feel but still is quite efficient and felt like the 0.68 OC might feel milder/smoother/more comfortable but still be quite efficient. On the Razorock website it says the 0.68 OC is a fair bit milder than the 0.84 SB, but I'm looking for anecdotal inputs. Thanks.
