Yes, I believe Apollo has one (thicker) reversible baseplate, similar to a Rockwell 6S baseplate. You get a mild or aggressive shave depending on which way the baseplate is facing.Anyone know the difference? Is it literally the same sort from the Apollo has both place plates in one except separate?
Thanks for the info! Think I’d prefer 2 thinner base plates so that’s really helpful.Yes, I believe Apollo has one (thicker) reversible baseplate, similar to a Rockwell 6S baseplate. You get a mild or aggressive shave depending on which way the baseplate is facing.
Apollo Light has two separate thinner baseplates, with the same gaps (0.5 and 0.85) as the two positions of the thick plate on the Apollo.
If it‘s any help, I believe I‘ve seen it mentioned that the aggro plate equates roughly to a Karve D plate.Thanks for the info! Think I’d prefer 2 thinner base plates so that’s really helpful.

Can you compare to other razors, in particular when shaving ATG? I'm also interested in blade feel. On the website, it links to a review that says that the aggressive plate is blade forward, yet the mild plate has more blade feel than the aggressive plate.I got Apollo light razor with both of plates. It is good razor. I like its head design, which is very light and thin. M plate is really smooth, and just for daily shaving. A plate make good balance between effeciency and smoothness. I can get BBS for 17 hours with WTG and ATG. I prefer A plates.
I compared Apollo A plate to H&S P076 Ti on half face. They have some kind of similar design—light and thin head.Can you compare to other razors, in particular when shaving ATG?
