Do me a favor and get me a link? I was having a hard time finding it.The WEIDI Stepless Adjustable is the mildest razor I've used, and that was on the highest setting.

No need for the link. I found it. Thanks.Do me a favor and get me a link? I was having a hard time finding it.
Yes sir, super safe would be the very affordable Fatip closed comb slant (FCCS). Many here love the open comb version (FOCS) but if you want to play it safe, go FCCS. That is what I use, which is very efficient for my one pass shaves. Give it a try but make sure you go easy the first few shaves so you master the very intuitive slant learning curve.Any suggestions for a super safe slant?
Thanks. I'm definitely checking it out. And thanks for the promo code and heads up on the sale.Yes sir, super safe would be the very affordable Fatip closed comb slant (FCCS).

Thanks. I started with the Feather popular and loved it for what seemed like forever until I didn't love it Pffed it. The Schick Krona I found boring. The SCS I'm still considering, except now it's the TRC I guess.Don't know if these compare to the Henson, but they're the mildest I've ever used:
SCS-Model A (so mild & inefficient that I sold it a while back):
Feather Popular (so mild & inefficient that I put it away after 2 uses. So inexpensive that it ain't worth selling but it actually looks charming which makes you want to keep it):
Schick Krona (Vintage but very mild + efficient):
Other options that I consider mild and are on my top best razors:Thanks. I started with the Feather popular and loved it for what seemed like forever until I didn't love it Pffed it. The Schick Krona I found boring. The SCS I'm still considering, except now it's the TRC I guess.
Thanks. I've been massively tempted by the Masamune. And isn't there a Karve AA?Other options that I consider mild and are on my top best razors:
Timeless .68 (I have the open comb)
Chiseled Face Legacy
Tatara Masamune (I have the Nodachi with the masamune baseplate and it's mild. The full Masamune is much milder)
Karve (I have the stainless "B" plate open comb which is vey mild. So the "A" plate must be super mild)
Yes they also have a AA. I've only tried the B OC and the D SB. And the B is super mild to me so I imagine the AA & A must be overboard mild. I also have the G SB but have never tried it as I believe it's too much for me. It came with my razor!Thanks. I've been massively tempted by the Masamune. And isn't there a Karve AA?
I just got kind of burned out with this razor burn that won't go away and all the inflammation it caused.
I know that's kind of heretical here in the forum, but I got tired of trying to formulate the perfect lather. Is it enough of a base? Is it too thick? Is it slick enough? I got tired of having to evaluate everything, rather than just shaving.
If this is identical to the EJ DE89 then it’s more aggressive than the AS-D2.My most mild razor and lately the most enjoyable, is the Muhle R89. If I’m getting razor burn it’s because I’m going over a spot too many times, and/or going over a spot with too much pressure or no lather. YMMV
EJ DE89 head is the same as the R89 head.If this is identical to the EJ DE89 then it’s more aggressive than the AS-D2.
The two products don’t get the respect they deserve because the are offensive to some. Just imagine having one product that is completely superior but you just can’t seem to admit it due to tradition and long held beliefs that old fashioned soap and a brush are better. I only use the Beard Lube but the cream looks amazing too.I second that emotion regarding Jack Black Beard Lube. It is really good stuff but for some reason, JB gets little air time on this forum, and I can only think because is it more corporate and not "artisan". I now use the Beard Lube as my pre-shave before the JB Supreme Triple Cream. Awesome combination.
Another option to explore for mildness, dare I say, is a slant razor. The theory being a slicing cut like a guillotine is gentler than a chopping cut like a traditional DE. The French discovered this hundreds of years ago.
Any suggestions for a super safe slant?
