I think if I get a adjustable Schick injector then I would have found the only razor I need. My favorite unmentionable is an adjustable razor. My E-3 has removed it from the favorite position but it is still a great razor. I like using the adjustable feature for shaving against the grain because I have found that even mild razors will cause razor pimples. Being able to adjust it has fixed that problem. However, my technique is improving so I might not need the adjusting ability but I like having it.
Have you heard my rant on twisting that knob? Turn it up leave it up turn it loose. I do not do against the grain. No real need and as you see it is rough. I Veddy much like your understanding of technique!!!
I have heard the rant. Maybe I wise up soon but for me changing it during my shave works better. I have shaved with out going against the grain and it feels like I did not shave. Sounds strange right? The next day I can already feel the stubble. My technique is getting better. The last shave I had was with a 1912 and I did not get any nicks or cuts. I posted that shave on my testing of how long a GEM blade can last. Today I plan on shaving with the competing unmentionable. I turned it to 9 and it seems that I get better shaves by going milder on my second pass. Just my experience.
