Hi I have a raw shaving rs10 Razor with both the mild and aggressive plates, while it's a absolutely beautiful Razor I'm struggling to get great shaves with it. I'm finding it hard to find the right cutting angel and it's not that efficient. Just wondering if anyone knows the best angel with this Razor and also if anyone has tried both mild and aggressive plate what is your preference. Would appreciate any help thanks

The breadth of experience you have with DE's is incredible. I'd like to see a pic of your hardware collection at some point...

Thank you my friend for the kind words. I have only kept about 35 razors, When I get a new one I try to use it for a few weeks, then I evaluate if it can replace one of the razors in my collection and then I do a side by side shave and sell one of them.
For me what works for the Aggressive plate is Nacets or GSB, use a sharp blade. For the regular mild plate Wizamet or PolSilver (same blade) works best. It's definitely top tier smoothness if not the smoothest razor I had the pleasure of using. Don't give up on it, it's one of those razor that when it clicks you know it's a VERY special razor. For me it took about 2-3 weeks to find optimal angle. I prefer the Aggressive plate. GL
