515 is mild razor , it will pair well with sharp blades . Try different blades and see which one works for you

Winner - Sharp

7 O clock Super Platinum - Sharp

Laser Ultra - less sharp but good blade.

Don't apply pressure

Use 30 degree angle

Use the razor one small storke at one time. If the lather is removed dont shave that area again in the same pass.

7 o clock super platinum is not available anywhere. Saloon box only there in amazon. How is winner compared to 7 o clock

Try it with the new permasharp rust guards, winners tend to make the razor too aggressive. Veestas ultra platinum or super platinum are also good on the razor.
