Hi everyone. I've been using a safety razor for about a year now. I'm currently using a Merkur Futur on it's highest setting 6 along with a feather blade. I like this combo but I'm wanting to know if there is another safety razor which can give me an even closer shave? I'm willing to try another adjustable razor or fixed handle. I've read through many threads here and guys seem to think feather blades are very sharp however they are decent to me but not overly sharp.
I have coarse facial hair so I can use a futur on setting 6 along with feather blades using nothing but water as a lubricant and still not cut myself. So I need a very aggressive safety razor and blade combo. Any suggestions? I've been reading about the Muhle r41 but I'm not sure it will give me a closer shave than the futur on setting 6. Also are there any other blades I can get which are sharper than feathers? Thanks in advance.
