Mild & Efficient Razors

I get pretty amazing shave from the Henson Ti Medium. It’s right on the edge for my face, and really works on my tough spots. If I put the wider Kai blade in it, I have to be careful, it’s just a bit much on blade feel. Prefer it to the Al Henson, as the Ti is 2x the weight. Extra mass works. I’d prefer stainless, but I don’t think Henson is going that way.

I’m always surprised by mine with a Permasharp and 3 passes. Shave lasts forever too. But always need 3 passes.

I prefer mild shavers myself and enjoy the following razors to fit the bill:

Karve B & C
Rockwell 6 C or S Plate 3
Schick Krona

This category of razor seems to be the holy grail for some people: Mild shaving with mid or high efficiency. Being able to get a close comfortable shave without irritations.

I have not came across many of these types except couple. Gillette Tech, Razorock GC68, and Razorock Mamba 53. 

I've been shaving with the Gillette Tech this week and it's been a blast. Just enough blade feel to know it's there and it still mows down the growth. I still buff towards the end but I'm left with a close shave without irritations.

Couple razors that are mild and not efficient enough for my liking: DE89 and Merkur 34C. I know these are some of the most loved razors out there and everyone has tried them at least once. But no matter how much I buff with them, I am not able to get a satisfying result at the end. Either I'm left with some stubbles that annoy me or I get a closer shave at the expense of some irritations.

What are some of your Mild & Efficient razors or your experience with them?

I felt that thw EJ de89 and Merkur 34C were not that efficient too until I tried thwm qith a feather blade... Now i love them in thia combination

Right? I don’t need to shave for two days… It’s the most efficient razor I’ve ever used.

I'm looking to add a "mild" razor to my shelf. Anyone have knowledge of the following razors and able to rank them in terms of shave performance?
R89
Timeless .68 sb
Feather AS D2
Carbon Razor Company (- plate)

Tatara Masamune OC
Razorock BBS ( the stainless )
Razorock Mamba
Razorock .76 SB
Karve B or C SB

Bluegrass, look forward to your posts with that 54 gasped Wolfie. I have a 74 and it is too aggressive for me as a daily.
