Re: Razorock Mission vs PPA DOC

Dave, first off welcome aboard If your technique is good and you are getting good shaves with your Razorock, for an open comb you might want to consider the Muhle R41 razor.

Re: razor aggressiveness help

First off Jedi, love the avatar choice... fits your nickname perfectly as far as blade choice just save the Nacets and feathers for later shaves, since you are using a Progress just dial it down low and use any blade and work on your technique and dial the razor up as your shaves improve.
