Hercules34 You may want to check out this video that describes the different safety bar configurations:

From least to most aggressive:
solid bar
scalloped
hybrid (combo of scalloped and open combed)
open comb
With build your own options, each of those plates can be ordered in M, H, or EH options.
I have plates in all these options but I tend to use the solid bar versions the most as there is less blade exposure. I tend to use Nacets the most in this razor, so it is very efficient.
I shave every other day.
I use the M or H solid bar plates in Ti for most of my shaves.
If I need more blade exposure, I will use the scalloped plates.
I am not a fan of the OC plate myself as it has too much blade exposure for me. I have the H OC plate in Ti and the Hybrid brass plate (which is type M).
