I find that as much as I love an aggressive razor, my favorites list is full of smoothies.
1. Timeless Bronze (for daily shaves with minimal stubble)
2. RR Game Changer: just came last week. Almost as smooth as the Timeless Bronze, can take down a lot more hair per pass.
3. Rockwell 6s, plate 3: a favorite smoothie. Not as pretty as the first two. But I never get a bad shave when I use it.
4. Feather AS-D2: my first pricey razor. Requires attention to keep the right angle. Never irritates.
5. Mergress. I use this one when I haven’t shaved in a while. I have a Rex Ambassador on order so the Mergress is likely to move down this list.

+1. Yep, me too. Smoothness is something I value most with any razor!
Currently a work in Progress, but:
1) Paradigm Ti II
2) Paradigm 17-4
3) Karve CB in any plate mild to wild
4) Timeless SS 0.95 and 0.68 SB or SCL
5) Blackbird Polished SB
Honorable mention - Charcoal Goods Lvl-1 (tough call for #5)
I enjoy having 2 different levels, mild and efficient, daily shavers and 2-3 day growth razors.

Yep! Same here, different razors according to beard growth makes total sense in my book!
@Dave in KY Dave hope you enjoy the Parker Variant, i know you didn't find the Rex to your liking.
I think its a fantastic razor and enjoy using it more than the Rockwell 6C, in fairness to the Rockwell i got it recently and haven't given it a good go yet.

Thanks, have it on deck for a shave after lunch and shortened work day.
Great, let us know how you get on.

Fumbling about.
Mine change but I'll give it a shot just for fun if you promise to not hold me to it.
My Blackland is closed comb. I'd probably like the OC more, but I've not tried it, so I'm guessing.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Rockwell 6s/c - predicable great shave every time
Fatboy - because it's a Fatboy
Slim - because it's a skinny Fatboy
EJ89 - my first DE
English Gillette Tech - really tied with the EJ

My current top 5
Eclipse Red Ring
Fatboy
Gillette New LC
Ikon X3
And although it is an SE my Mongoose would squeeze in at 3
(if an SE doesn’t count, a Gillette old type OC, would have to be on the list).

Hi,
I bought the razor from a dollar-like shop. Looks like de89 geometry, but is didn't. After a three pass shave I enjoy 10-12 h a true BBS! This razor is the emperor for the ATG pass. No redness, no nothing, just absolutely zero sting from my after shaves! No link to share, sorry.
Cheers

Thanks , I'll compare it with others in box o' heads. Saves you a lot of dough not having to buy a Wolfman eh!

I am big fan of the Ikon Standard. I used their first model for about 8 years. It never cut me and I didn't realize it was considered aggressive until I read it. For me, that makes it awesome, because there is no denying it will give you a BBS every time and it gave me hardly any irritation. I usually shave every other day, so I get your point too.
