Which Razorock razor?
Sorry if the question is a bit banal, but I hope some folks may have advice.
I've been using a GC68P for several years and I think in general I get pretty decent results with it. I just feel like it doesn't quite effortlessly get super close unless I use extra pressure and multiple buffing strokes, which sometimes causes a little discomfort.
I've got the 68OC too, and it was what I used after 4-5 days of growth, but I don't love using it now that I shave every other day and my beard doesn't get long enough to clog the SB.
But I was thinking of maybe getting something that gets a little closer while retaining some of the relative ease of use.
I ordered a 76p plate but it seems to have gotten lost in transit, and it will be some time before Michael can help me with a trace and perhaps reshipping.
In the meantime, I received a Blackbird SB and SB Lite. I was able to get mostly comfortable with the standard plate within a few shaves, but the Lite plate is for some reason causing me some trouble. One explanation may be that I am not hitting the optimal angle to get good blade contact, whereas the standard plate had a bit more latitude for achieving close results.
Now I am rethinking the 76P. It still seems like a good option, but I am starting to think I might be happier with a Lupo or something else. I am not terribly offended by blade feel, and like having a little bit more angle flexibility while getting close to the skin. Still want it to be pretty maneuverable and not simply the most aggressive face-peeler, of course.
The bigger gap GCs may be an option too, but I am not sure that a bigger gap will suit my needs better given that I shave frequently and my neck contours sometimes like to get pinched in big gaps.
Sorry for the long post, but I figured some context may help people understand my goals rather than a generic request. Thanks in advance!
