I found a Gillette Fatboy (razor I had in the early 70s) and have worked up to #9 in a few weeks with great success. I just read about slant bars and ordered a Merkur Slant Bar this week. I don't know if it will shave any closer but it will be interesting to find out. Over the years, I had forgotten what a close shave really felt like. What a difference between the "new" razors and old fashioned DEs. After a number of years using plastic razors, I’ve gone back to DE razors.

Unfortunately I inherited a sensitive neck skin and tough beard hair. So, I prefer to use an adjustable Merkur Progress. When I shave my face I use a close shave setting and when I shave my neck I use a "milder" setting :-D This works for me perfectly! The Feather blades are excellent. You can also try the fantastic Gillede "Sweedish" blades (better shave IMHO but last a bit less) The slant bar is a very nice option.
