So the no.1 plate seems a little pointless for me, I've been using the 2-4 plates most regularly. Most recently I've found the two plate seems to produce a little more irritation than expected, while the three and four plates produce the smoothest overall result.
What I don't yet understand is whether this is due to the scraping action of the blade, or just because I intuitively do fewer passes over that same area. Especially ATG on the lower neck it seems the two plate feels catchy and can be slightly painful, where the three and four make more noise but seem to produce less catch and less irritation.
This morning I had two days growth and called up the four plate which resulted in a wonderful shave.
Which ones work better for you, and why do you think that is?
