Most Efficient razor with Least Blade Feel

With all of the votes for the Paradigm Diamondback 2020, I'm going to have to go back and try it again.

I have a slightly different opinion on the H&S N075, which I love and would recommend it to just about anyone. I can use it daily, but due to its neutral blade exposure it doesn't give the longest lasting shaves. It's slightly more efficient than the Karve C, which I also love.

My vote goes to the Rockwell 6S on 4. This razor has some weird voodoo. So little blade feel, yet smooth and close and long-lasting. I rarely use it, just because it's kind of ugly. (Someone tell RazoRock to stop with the Lupo and start making a razor that shaves like the Rockwell 6S on 4!)

Guessing you missed the part after “most efficient razor”

Whilst this is all subjective, i like higher gaps with minimal blade feel.

One razor that hardly gets any talk time is the ATT Windsor H plate. It has a 0.9mm gap which gives a great, close shave but it's soooo comfortable with minimal blade feel that i can use it as a 4 pass daily driver.

I'm still awaiting my Yates H plate so let's see how it compares.

Nope. Sean, you know I love aggressive razors and for me, those have the extreme amount of efficiency with a small amount of blade feel. Of course that Sailor can stay on a setting of 3 and have the efficiency of a WR2 1.45.

If the Rockwell 6S Plate 4 works, for you, why don't you file it down or have it filed down on the side you don't care for so you can have a sleeker and more aesthetically pleasing base-plate. I've seen two done this way and they look quite different and much nicer than the original.
Just a thought. 

I am using Blackbird with steeper angle and adding pressure.
Getting the most efficient shave with low blade feel.
No irritation, no cut, super comfortable shave.

From my experience, I would rate based on the criteria of "Most efficient razor with Least blade feel", in no particular order: H&S P076 17-4, Raw RS10, Paradigm Diamondback 2020 and Yates H plate.

I’m adding the Blackbird Ti to my list. In order my updated list:
Raw Rs-10, Blackbird Ti, Paradigm Diamondback 2020, Yates 921-H, H&S P076 17-4

I am using Blackbird with steeper angle and adding pressure.
Getting the most efficient shave with low blade feel.
No irritation, no cut, super comfortable shave.

Ti Blackbird?
