I have genuinely been disappointed with every so called mild razor I have ever used. I do not want 4 passes, the less time a blade is on my skin the better. Personally I would much rather have two passes with a sharper blade and mid aggressive razor. I'm not talking R41 or Ikon Tech here, a Blackbird is great, as are all the razors in my rack. I can actually get a DFS with one pass and generally BBS in two with some skin stretching and light buffing with everything I own. I don't consider aggressive as equalling a better shave, if I have to Pussy Foot around my face being careful with the angle and pressure, then for me chuck the Safety Razor in the bin and buy a Straight Razor and have the same experience, because that's what you are using in essence. Waiting to be cut mid shave with the likes of an R41 isn't my cup of tea, nor is completing a pass and felling like nothing has happened. So give me a good mid range SS razor and I'm happy.
