Finally an AS-D2 positive mention! When reading this thread I sometimes feel I’m using a mediocre razor and have a tendency to crave something else.
You are definitely not using a mediocre razor. The AS-D2 is my favorite razor. There's others that I like a lot and are part of my rotation, but if I had to choose only one, it would be the AS-D2.
Here is how I would rank the razors that I currently use...
1) Feather AS-D2
2) Wolfman WR2 .95 SB
3) Rockwell 6S (Plates 2 & 3)
4) Timeless .68 SB
