Hey guys, I just ordered my first wet shaver from WetShavingProducts I purchased the "El Grande Closed Comb" model I was going to get (and probably will later on) the merkur 34c but I also read that the 33c and 15c are very gentle on the skin. I'll probably buy them all at some point. This one got interesting reviews and the price was good.
Welcome to The Shave Den! The Grande is a agressive razor, so be careful, once you get the angle and pressure down it is a wonderful razor.
Welcome, from Houston. If the El Grande is an aggressive razor, I would possibly hold off, until you use a less aggressive razor to train on. I started on a Micro Touch One. It may be gimmicky, but it is a well built mild starter razor. Easy to learn your techniques.
