Been using a DE Safety for years. My late grandfathers. Gillette Tech
Converted all my friend's and they have never looked back. Considered a straight blade but the added precision and maintenance turned me off, aside from occasions. I really don't have to concentrate much using this. Blades also cost next to nothing.
If you find it isn't cutting as aggressive as you need it to, upgrade to a more aggressive razor and a sharper blade. The above is a very mild style, so I need a couple passes in certain areas.
Something like a Merkur HD with a feather blade is sure to take some skin off
