Have you tried various blades? People swore by feather but I found those too be too stiff and sharp. I absolutely hated them. I tried Astra Platinum and they seem more flexible and provide a much better shave for me. There's a "chart" out there that lists various brands from sharpest -> smoothest

Yes, I have, and yes, my latest have been Astoria, and yes, I pull, instead of slicing, and yes, I've futzed with the angle, and yes, I've tightened the razor, and yes, I've played with not tightening it as much, and the end result is that despite all this work, the disposable plastic crap is easier and less painful.

There's a reason for why the world has switched to the disposable plastic crap - and its not because people are fools. It's much the same reason for why the world switched from horses and buggies to automobiles.
