Razor: Oliworks Meteorite, mild
Blade: Treet Carbon Steel
Lather: Wet the Face Thomas Shelby
Brush: Simpson Captain 2 in best
Post: Thayers + Avon Wild Country
Same great shave with less blade feel.
 
As I've written before, I have the Blue Meteorite and it's most definitely on the top of my list.
When I bought it (the same week they came out), I opted for the medium base plate and it's the right one. But curiosity has now hit me with the other two plates because I do sometimes like mild & efficient and also aggressive razors.
Depends on the mood and growth!
I've just ordered the mild plate and the aggressive plate in order to try them all.
They're cheap enough to justify when comparing them to the cost of base plates from other manufacturers.
These razors are really good and I figure that the multiple base plates will cover all bases.
Looking forward to the experiment!

Fumbling about.

Since I had the adjustable before the M3teorite, I thought I knew which baseplate would be right for me. I thought probably the mild, but maybe the medium, and certainly not the aggressive.

I bought them all as the price was very much right with their opening bell deep discount. I think the extra plates were $10 each.

I have a range of likes on occasion, too.

And how adventurous and brave I am.

Ain't that the truth.

I've ended up with the mild baseplate for most shaves. It is the only one I'd put into my highest razor ranking category, the Daily Drivers. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with the aggressive baseplate.

I think you're going to enjoy the experiment.

Happy shaves,

Jim

I hope so!
I too started with the adjustable which is what led me to the conclusion that the medium was the right one. But I still should have bought the other two back when they were dirt cheap.
Interesting that you really enjoy the mild as that's the one that really piques my interest right now. More so than the aggressive!
But I'll try them all when they arrive and see where I land in terms of satisfaction!
