Is that with weight of blade, or slight pressure.?

Shall have to try that one, can't hurt.:shrug:

I find a blue green Escher puts, me where I like it. Very keen, but comfortable. Only a light touch needed for shaving.

I've played with several Coties, in all imaginable ways, can achieve great shaves off them, and skin friendly.
