So I really love my Merkur 34C HD since I think it is the easiest razor to find the perfect angle on - it is just an effortless shave. However, I have an incredibly coarse beard (combined with pseudo folliculitis, in-grown hairs and sensitive skin) which forces me to only shave once a week (once the hair has fully surfaced from my skin), so I need a razor that is a bit more "aggressive" than the Merkur which can take down my beard with a bit more ease. For the most part I can achieve BBS in two passes (one with the grain and one across) but there is always tugging around my chin. Is there a razor with a similar feeling head/angle but can take down my beard easier?
