Gentle shaving razor tip

Rockwell 2C.

Comes with the plate with settings 1 and 3.
You can't feel plate 1 but it may also be too mild of a shave.
Plate 3 is mild but shaves decently for light beards.

If you have the budget, just go for the 6C which has all 6 settings.

The Rockwell is honestly one of the smoothest razors out there and very versatile.
 
For a decent stainless steel quality product then the Razorock Mamba 53 might suit you.
I used mine for years (face went sensitive...age, paper thin skin, etc).
Only in the last few months have I moved up to the Lupo 72 (my new favourite).
So maybe the Mamba?
I put the 'Bamboo' handle on mine (for lighter weight) but there is a titanium handle available now too.
It would be a better buy than a zinc alloy (zamac/zamak) which is a poo material at best.

I would consider Henson I think it weighs about 80 grams but it seems more manageable. Of the other razors I do not know the weight.

I don't know where you got 80 grams for the Henson from. It's lightweight aluminium and comes in at 38.5 grams. You won't get much lighter than that.

Hi @lozioditalia
I suggest you look up the (The Goodfellas' smile Valynor razor) its made of aluminium and brass and made in Italy.
I believe its a milder razor and it weighs 78 grams.
From what you have said this razor maybe what you are looking for.
Available new and used (if you wish to save a few euro) Its a higher priced razor If new but you save a
fair bit if you can get one used.
Cheers

@Vittoria, excellent suggestion.

@Errol's suggestion for the Yintal is super as it is affordable and top notch in quality.

@lozioditalia , I'm going to steer this in a different direction. My first razor that I moved to from Cartridges was the Leaf Twig, the mechanism died and so did my interest in the Razor though it was okay as a shaver. I did try a friend's Henson and though it was alright, found it boring. But yeah the Henson Mild won't hurt you even if you try to cut yourself intentionally.

My picks for a milder Razor would be -

1. Henson Mild V2
2. Yates Precision Winning version 2
3. The Rockwell 6 C, won't break the Bank and you can dial up or down with the aggression as there are 6 plates to choose from. It is lighter than the Rockwell 6S and glides better due to the shiny chrome coating ( At least for me).
4. My Top pick and still a razor I love to bits is the Muhle R89 Twist, Excellent handle and a beautiful shaver, great for beginners and fun for experienced shavers. Knock a Voshkod into it and you have a mild and smooth shave, throw in a Wizamet and you get a smooth and sharp shave. If you don't like the Twist function get the Grande Version. Take care of it and it will last a long long time.

Whatever you choose mate, spend a bit of time with the razor, find the blades that work best for you in it and enjoy the shaves.

The price went up again to 16 € I will wait for it to come down again. For about 13.91 € including shipping this razor seems like a wonder to me. I like the design and the pattern of the razor finished well, hope it is lightweight.

I will not buy the suspicious razor clones even to try it. I saw that on Aliexpress the Muhle Rocca Rocca also has the logo written on it. It's amazing all this.

Mate that Rocca is original, it isn't a clone buddy. I have a pal who recently received his R94 From Aliexpress and it is 100 percent original. If you have doubts then don't use Aliexpress, just get the razor of your choice from one of the online dealers in Australia.

I'm not saying that I don't like to buy on Aliexpress, because there are products that are cheap and are very good.I'm saying you have to be careful because the Muhle Rocca sold there is fake, that is, counterfeit as are all the other razors that copy the Henson, Merkur Progress 500 and Syntesi.
Thank you all for your advice, I am still taking some time to decide maybe a Razorock mamba might do the trick, I have to decide.
Happy shaving gents.
