After a few years of DE shaving, I still find myself getting the best shaves from my Mach 3 carts. Very consistent, irritation free, and smooth. That being said, I still like using a DE, just haven't found one that matches my face yet. I want to try ONE MORE DE razor that will match my carts. I know technique and prep play a big part here as well.
I have a very coarse beard, sensitive skin (ya ya, seems like that's what we all say) my hair curls a bit and grows in all different directions. I have a "swirl" on my jaw line that looks like a tornado radar pattern. My neck grows S-N in one area, N-S in the middle, and W-E on the other side.
What I've tried:
MicroTouchOne - very very gentle, no nicks or irritation, but I have to take about 5-6 passes and still doesn't get everything
Parker 22r - Too aggressive and it had a poor blade exposure on one side
RR Mission - could never get a smooth shave with it regardless of blade
EJD85 - I think this was a great razor, but my technique was poor. I do fear it could be a bit mild for my hair
I've seen suggestions for the Parker open comb, a slant....HELP!
