Perhaps that’s improper use of the term on my part. I can get BBS shaves from razors like the Feather AS-D2 and Blutt with the 0.86 plate by paying attention to the “opinion” (nice choice of term there} those razors express about blade angle. I favor the cap side while shaving so a “mild” razor for me is one where I feel the cap acting restricting the angle. Not a big deal.

That makes sense to me.
When you said “mild”, I thought more of something like the Henson: tiny blade gap, no exposure, no way to hurt yourself even if you’re drunk. I don’t know the AS-D2, but the Blutt with the 0.86 goes in that direction, yes.

I appreciate razor engineering that contributes to, enhances, and responds to good shaving technique. I think the goal at Henson is to provide a device that works the same way whether you have technique or not. There’s no joy in that IMHO.
