Recently switched from my first DE razor (Merkur 34c) because I found it too mild. Some of my coarsest hair could not be removed at all without intense buffing. At first, I switched to Feathers with the 34c, which was an improvement but not perfect.
When I got my 15c, I immediately noticed how amazingly efficient my shaves were, basically to the point that I routinely get ingrown hairs now around my mouth area where the hairs are thinner and lighter. I try to only do one or two light passes around that area during a 3 pass shave now.
I ordered some Nacets, which are totally awesome but still maybe a bit sharp. I really like how smooth they are while still being basically feather sharp. Thing is, maybe feather sharp is too sharp. So now I'm prioritizing smoother blades and wondering what I should try. If Nacets were the only blade I could use for the rest of my life I wouldn't be too mad, but I'd love to see what else is out there.
I have heard Rapira Platinum Lux and GSBs are really good. I know YMMV, so maybe it's best to ask what to pair with my razor!
Anyone have a 15c? Or if not, can you recommend a nice smooth blade that is still efficient? Thank you.
