Right now i am using a merkur 34, and a adjustable gillet( not sure which one ) . I like the weight of the 34 . Just looking to try something new . So many choices , thought you all might help narrow the choices down .
It may be cause i haven't had this razor very long but a Merkur Barber Pole has treated me well so far. Nice long handle, nice heavy weight and not to crazy aggressive, they also offer it in a Slant.
I would like a heavy razor . the short handle of the 34 is nice , but not against a long handle . what does a high comb do that a regular one does not ? I am scared of a slant . but like what I read about slants . I have a very course set of wiskers . I shave about every other day.
The choices are endless, why are you scared of a slant? It's just a razor. Check out the iKon ShaveCraft 102. Great slant. Not scary.
The only reason for fear of slant is reading about the bleeding factor . but I guess there is a learning curve with anything
Maggard razors look nice and at a very reasonable price. http://www.maggardrazors.com/product/maggard-razors-mr5-stainless-steel-handle-safety-razor/ They even quote the aggressiveness compared to a Slim adjustable on the MR 5 Head looks like a Mühle R89.
Sounds like a slant would fit the bill for you. My 37C cuts through my course fast growing stubble very well. I find it handles no differently than any other DE razor. If you want heavier, then go for the 39C. I always hear great things about that model.
What they all said. I would recommend a Schick SE if you can get one they sell a lot of them on e-Bay. Good Luck
http://www.abovethetie.com/product-...teel-safety-razors/5-piece-sets/#.VPlet3ajzXg I would recommend an ATT R-1 with Atlas handle if you want a short handle or a Krono's Handle or a Cololssus Handle or any single set.
