    Just buy either, you will eventually own both, out of curiosity. See which one you like better. I prefer the Gillette Fat Boy, or Gillette Slim Adjustable.

    I started nearly two years ago with an Edwin Jagger DE89 and now have nearly 10 razors, more vintage than modern.

    If I were to start all over again with the knowledge I have, I would get either a RazoRock DE89 clone with stainless handle ($20 I believe) or a Gillette Slim adjustable if you want vintage.

    Lots of members say the vintage Gillette tech is a good start. It is indeed inexpensive, well built, but I find mine quite aggressive and a bit rough for my tough beard.

    Id go with a fixed. That way, youre focusing on your technique and arent getting bogged down by trying different settings on the razor. Later, if you want to try an adjustable, you always can.
