Best Adjustable for semi-newbie?

[LRod]

I own a 6S, how does the Pearl flexi compares to the 6S?
I think the 6S range is very mild to smooth agressive. How is that for the Flexi? And can you indicate setting 1 on the flexi for example is comparable with backplate 2 of the 6S?

I've never owned or used a Rockwell. I was just indicating in my post that the Rockwell has plates that need to be changed for adjustability.
Maybe someone else can chime in on your question!

The Flexi feels different. It has more blade exposure, but feels less aggressive than the Rex Ambassador. So even at setting 1, which offers a small blade gap you have much more blade feel.
The Rockwell 6s is my daily driver, i own a Flexi and I had a Rex.

Reminder to me: i should use my Flexi again in near future, it's collecting dust.

Rockwell 6s or 6c. I have tried almost all outthere and Rockwell never lets me down

Well maybe I am wrong as far as first adjustable but I would say Gillette Slim.

I would post on Wanted Trade For Sale Forum and see if some has one they will part with.

Option 2 is E-Bay as there are alway Vintage Slims for sale.

Option is Slim that has been reconditioned, and plated. Razor Emporium in Phoenix would be one place to look. Or BackRoadsGold on ESTY.

Can’t go wrong with Vintage Gillette Slim.
