Today I wanted to see if there was a "mild" shave possible with the Variant. I just set it on 1 and left it. I would have to say, nope. Given the couple of super close shaves, I could use a couple of days of just a mild DFS+ type of shave to recover. I think my conclusions for the Variant for me is this starts as a slightly aggressive and goes up from there. Though, I guess I still do need to try a more mild blade in it. The "1" setting was fine on the cheeks, but it still did not feel what I would classify as mild. There is blade feel no matter what it is set on. The neck was of course, the same ah yesterday. So in hind sight, it was silly to use the same razor on the same setting and think it would be milder on the neck just because I changed the setting for the cheeks.
