The 102 was the smoothest razor I've ever used and the heft was wonderful but dfs was the best I could achieve so I sold it off. For whatever reason, I couldn't ever get bbs with it like I do daily with my progress.
I'm with you on this one. I can get a good shave with everything from a blue tip (considered one of the mildest razors ever made) to a shavette (can leave you needing stitches if you're not careful). Every razor needs to be used at the proper angle, and that angle is unique for each and every razor.
