I've been enjoying really good shaves with my Gillette Black Beauty for the last few weeks. So much so, that I'm getting reluctant to try anything else! Trouble is, I've got a bad case of the RADs so have seven or eight razors that I haven't yet tried! Please help me choose the way to go from the following: Merkur 37C Slant; Merkur 510 Progress; Mule 41 (2013); Gillette Superspeed Red Tip.
Would it be helpful to have someone order the razors from most similar to the Black Beauty to least similar (eg in terms of shave aggressiveness, etc)? Or are you more curious about people's favorites out of the options? I don't have much experience with vintage Gillettes, but I think you have a great collection going. A lot to look forward to trying
I try and have days chosen for my creams that have letters that kind of correspond with those days. You could do Slant Saturdays, Superspeed Sunday, Muhle Mondays, etc.
Hello my name is Eddie and I have R.A.D. I can only remind you of this one "IMPORTANT" fact...."YOUR NOT REQUIRED to SHAVE with EVERY Razor you OWN, despite the FACT that you feel the NEED to OWN all of THEM"!! I now have a favorite razor in fact "two" that I use everyday, to the exclusion of the others..BUT I still buy "MORE" razors!!! And sometimes even shave with them! It's a "DISORDER" accept it and enjoy it..... That said I voted for the "Gillette Red Tip" get it first then follow with the 41....
