1. How much blade feel is present on the lower settings?
2. Does the blade feel increase as you progress through the settings?
3. Do you find that riding the bar or riding the cap is the better position?

My two favorite razors are the Rockwell 6S (baseplate 4) and the Karve Overlander.  In other words, I really like mild razors with no blade feel.  I know comparisons are subjective but would the OliWorks adjustable be comparable to the 6S/Overlander if it’s on the lower settings?

I have blade feel at setting 4 and above, it does increase with higher number.  I found a neutral position to be best although I do tend to ride the cap.  

I had a Rockwell 6C and I love my stainless steel Overlander.  I would say you will like settings 1 thru 3, maybe 3.5.  I haven't used the Oliworks below setting 2.5 but I would guess setting 1 or 1.5 would feel like the Overlander but I find this razor to be nowhere near the ATG comfort level of the Overlander, which in my opinion is the number one ATG DE razor.

Thanks!  That's very helpful.  And I have to agree, the SS Overlander is fantastic on the ATG pass

The thread is going to be soft-closed for now. andrewjs18 made it clear near the beginning of this thread and GlazedBoker reiterated it in post #114 that the discussion needs to be about the performance, craftsmanship & overall quality of the razor. As GlazedBoker stated, the business end is completely off limits, plain & simple.
