New to adjustable DE but Straight experience question
Have an odd question based on years of straight experience but vexed by a DE.
Just picked up a Merkur 700 Futur DE and various blades. Noted a bit of razor burn on the neck which was the primary reason for ditching cartridges for a straight.
Assuming the irritation is due to poor technique and excess pressure at this point but have something if a counter-intuitive question.
The Merkur is an adjustable from rookie to insanity. I am at about a 2 for now and noted a little audible feedback while shaving. I have to say one of the odd parts of a DE versus a straight is the feedback. A straight tells me audibly how the shave is going and where to adjust.
Am I going over conservative on the adjustable setting? Asking after reflection since I am curious if I may want to go more aggressive (5-6) since I’m used to the feedback from a straight instead of dialing the Futur back to a 1 or so.
Thoughts?.
