What Is The Best Mild Safety Razor For 2021?

No doubt about it: some shavers want to "turn it up to 11." They use razors with tons of exposure and high-performance blades. They embrace the challenge. 

But what if you have sensitive skin? What if you don't have quite the time (or the mental focus) to concentrate on your technique? What if you're just starting to learn your technique in the first place? Or what if you--like me--just prefer a less aggressive razor?

Then a milder, gentler razor may be for you. Luckily there are quite a few options. I've researched a lot of "mild" razors (including the design specs that go into them) and have come up with 13 options--8 DE razors, 2 SE razors, and 3 cartridge razors--that tick the boxes.
