Hello. I am a newbie to DE shaving. I initially bought a Parker Variant and a Weishi Nostalgic Adjustable.
I tried the Nostalgic a couple of times but somehow I did not find it smooth & efficient. Perhaps I might revisit it in the future when I have more experience. The Variant was better and I kept using it but found it too aggressive even on the lowest setting, and often ended up with a raw chin and odd weeper and needed to pay attention.
I have a sensitive chin and upper lip area. I have little growth on the cheek area and sides of neck with most growth on the 'goatee' area. I shave 3 times a week and need to leave at least 2 days between shaves, at least with the cartridge/electric razors I used previously as well as the Variant.
On a whim I ordered a Rockwell 6C and found I could get between a DFS/BBS with plate 2 and 3-pass plus any touchups. Plate 3 was also good but more of a potential to have irritation after. With plate 4 I had to start paying attention.
I am quite happy with the 6C but would like something more durable as to the material used. I am obviously considering getting the 6S, leaving the 6C as a backup. However I would appreciate any suggestions as to a steel(?) razor that would give a smooth and efficient shave similar to the 6C with plate 2.
Thank you.
