  Have you seen the comparison chart from Razorock? Mild and aggressive are subjective terms, but generally more aggressive razors have more blade feel and need more attentiveness while shaving.

    Yeah I saw this, even in each category there are over 5 different razors.

  I’d say the most popular one is the Game Changer series. Do you have a razor that you like right now? Do you think you’d prefer something milder, more aggressive, or the same?

    I have a Merkur Futur clone that I use on the 5 setting. I should probably measure the blade gap.

      Is 5 a middle setting?

      Blade gap is only part of the equation, so if it turns out to be 0.68mm, for example, it’s still going to be quite different than a Game Changer .68. I’ve measured blade gap before and feeler gauges are the way to go if you’re curious.

        Are they better than an engineer’s caliper?
