I did the right side of my face with a Rolls Razor that is owned by @Tetriside as an edge test. When I transitioned to the Fili 12, I was surprised by how rough it felt by comparison. For me, the edge on that Rolls was just effortless.
You can’t go wrong with Shire 2 (IMHO), and the Shire brush is ultra luxurious as is the Shire Lancaster towel (though I actually prefer the larger, equally soft and absorbent, ““plush”” car detailing towels available online).
