I’ve been toying with this for the past year or so. The razors I’ve currently held onto, that work well for me:

- Yates H and Hybrid/M plate
- Blackbird Brass (titanium is probably better from what I’ve read)
- Henson Ti +++ (Aggressive)
- Colonial General V2

Brands I haven’t tried: Haircut and Shave, Carbon, Timeless

Edit: Paradigm Diamondback 2020 would also fit this category.

While Blackbird certainly is efficient I wouldn't say it has least blade feel.

The bird is just different to me. The blade feel doesn’t share the discomfort that comes with blade feel on other razors. But again, ymmv.

Of course, ymmv is always the case. For the record I get no discomfort from the Blackbird as well (although there is blade feel) - for me it's one of the best razors.

This is a very interesting thread. I am not as experienced as many on this forum. But I find with razors that are highly efficient but have little blade feel (i.e. are less aggressive-feeling), I tend to over-shave and get irritation. That is why I prefer razors that have blade feel or have aggression proportional to their efficiency. 

Granted, this preference may be due to a technique deficiency on my end.

The Blackbird, as AQU notes is a great example of this. High blade feel but I almost never over-shave or get irritation from it.

Edit: and to answer Tester28 's question: excluding the Timeless, I'd add the H&S NO75 and the Rockwell. Both of those have little blade feel in my book but are both efficient. Especially the NO75.
