Never found the need for an adjustable one myself.
I've found that "automatic" self adjustment takes place as I shave. As in gently varying the angle of the blade to the face and the pressure as you shave to accommodate the varying bristle characteristics across the face. But subconsciously, like.
I use a gilette flare tip rocket. lovely.

I do have the classic Barbershop type but I can't be bothered with stropping each time. Plus the feather is much sharper.

I find
the stropping quite calming, though I'm told it makes me look a bit psycho.
