What razors in your experience have zero / minimal blade feel? Everyone has a different defintion of smooth. For me, it's defined as zero or minimal blade feel. Ones I've found with this: Henson Mild & Medium, Feather AS-D2, Aylsworth Kopperkant and EJ DE89, and 34C/23C to a lesser extent. In particular, need insight on the Paradigm Salient/17-4/Ti Series 2, the Mamba 53 and 70, and BBS. I've found the GC 68, Timeless SB 68, Merica and Envoy had too much blade feel for my tastes
Razors with No / Minimal Blade Feel?

I've never felt any blade feel with my flair tip or with my slim boy

BTW, modern razors only, please, not interested in vintage
You already listed the only modern razor i own the 34c
The Mambas do have less bladefeel than the GC68 and the GC68 already does not have much. You might want to look at the Yates Winning as well.
The one with least blade feel forme is the KCG

Tried the KCG, not bad (other than the horrific handle), but basically just a Chinese-made clone of the EJ89 / Muhle 89 ...
Yates Merica
So far for me, it’s the Merkur 1904 open comb, and the feather as-d2. I have a game changer.68 sb and OC coming in tomorrow as well as a Blackland lite. Honorable mention to the razorock mission which is an ever so slightly step up in efficiency on a muhle r89.

Sold the ASD2, kept the Henson, which is honestly a phenomenal daily shaving razor as long as you're willing to use a shaper blade and 2-3 passes. I tried to like the Henson Medium like 3 times, just doesn't seem to have the right gap / blade exposure / geometry formula for me. Looking for a Henson-esque razor with more efficiency ...
The Rockwell 6C using the R3 or R4 plate demonstrates the least blade feel of any razor I have.
I agree that the Game Changer 68-P does have more blade feel although it's not uncomfortable for me at all.

Timeless .68 SB
mine is in Ti and very smooth no blade feel

Don't get the Mamba then, it is less efficient
Is it an efficient shaver? Or “mild” like the feather as-d2 ?
For minimal blade feel, IMHO, the Timeless Ti .68, or for more efficiency, the Timeless Ti .95. Either in the SB (safety bar) version.

The Overlander sort of meets that description. I much prefer it to the Henson. I like the timeless titanium .68 sb too, but you found it too aggressive. That is something I've not heard.
Razorock Wunderbar.
I don't feel/hear the blade at all...
Until it bites my nose off! But I love that razor. I use it when I really can take my time to shave and make a perfect lather. Close and irritation free shave everytime!
