    Which razors you have in your collection?

    Other mild, inexpensive (Chinese made) razors :

    -Gillette Super Blue (plastic handle, AliExpress),
    -Rimei A2003 (fasttech.com),
    -YingJiLi 8306-H (ebay),
    -Weishi 9306 (same as VDH, but only 8 bucks, AliExpress).

    First three are all Tech clones, while Van Der Weishi is a SuperSpeed clone.

    I've found that the Star Model 100 is the most mild Razor I own. You'd have to struggle to get irritation from it. Star also made an Aluminum version (also under the Treet, Pal, and/or Personna names) that is much lighter.

    However I wonder; What were the other 11 Safety Razors that you didn't like? How long have you been using them? Have you tried them with any other blades? Also what soap/lather products are you using? When I first started with DE Safety Razors (2016ish), having come from cartridges, I got loads of nicks and irritation. I tried different blades, and refined my technique. I also switched away from the canned goo and started using a brush and shave soap for lathering, offers more protection and slickness. Now I get closer shaves with much less irritation than ever before.

    I was reminded today of the PAA DOC (Pheonix Artisan Accoutrements Double Open Comb). It's a nice mild shaver.
