I say the Prima. It is a little closer to what you have been using in shape.
The Bismark, having a thumb notch requires a little more attention on the strop. It's a joy to hold/shave with the notch, but a little more "difficult" to strop square.
Embrace the RAD, I see you haven't been shy with that! lol

Thanked: 43I switched from my first razor - a Dovo Special 5/8 - to the Bismarck, and it is a marked difference between the two. I feel as though I'm having to learn to adjust to the weight of the blade to prevent using too much pressure, and have ended up with a bit of razor burn on my neck through the first couple of runs. I really do like the feel of it in the hand, but I feel like the lighter blade meant lighter pressure against the skin. I'd try the Prima first as well. Just my two pennies having gone to the heavier blade.
