I'm on the hunt for a new DE razor and would love some recommendations!
My facial hair is impossibly coarse like copper wire and yet I still have somewhat sensitive skin. Troublesome areas are chin and neck. If I opt out of a 3 pass I have stubble by 5pm. I own a DE89 and am somewhat practiced at giving myself a rather harsh 3 pass shave. A feather blade in my shavette clears it away in 2 passes with no irritation but I don't get that BBS shave feeling.
I like my razors and blades aggressive hence; Lightshave (I only ever use the lightest touch). I feel like an adjustable is something that would suit my needs as I could dial it down a notch for the 3rd pass and let the blade do the work.
a 1966 Gillette Slim would be lovely but I don't think I can justify the cost at this point in time.
Any alternatives or recommendations?
Thanks all!
