How about finding the offending frequency, then using subtractive
EQ?

For example, 7kHz is my red flag area.
2 or 3 db's cut there with a 1/2 octave bandwith, on a
parametric EQ, seems to be a good starting point for me
on mic's with a big presence peak.

Does using a de-esser typically sound more natural than
doing this?

P.S. I have an Orban 536a, but haven't gotten the
"pigtail" connector yet.
