    Hello everyone :)
    I`m using disposable razors (Bic Sensitive and Wilkinson Pronto), but i`m curious to try DE :ashamed001
    What razor is good for beginner ? I`m looking for some vintage one, because i don`t want to spend too many for now in case i don`t like it.

    Thank you so much !

    Welcome to the Den!

    Here's the razor you should get ;)

    Just keep one thing in mind, what works for someone else (the razor they love and say you absolutely must have) may not work for you. Part of the fun of this whole shaving thing is trying different things to see what works for you. Fortunately we don't have to be stuck with only one choice on anything shave related. Happy hunting!

    thanks !
    I read the newbie section on forum, and saw, the techs and superspeeds are best razors to start with. I will look BST section these days, i hope to find some good offer.

    Hello and welcome from Canada's Sunshine Coast.

    My first razor was/is a Canadian Tech and I love it. Mind you I haven't tried anything else, so far..... I've been shaving with a brush for just about 2 years but only just started with my DE a few months ago...

    You're in the right place to get lots of help and advice as you start getting into this.

    Cheers

    I have one and used it several times. I do not care for it. That's not to say that others feel the same since razors, razor blades, shaving cream etc. are all "preferential" items. As indicated earlier, what works for me, may not work for you. Experimentation is needed to determine what is best for you.

    Welcome to the forum and good luck.

    Ok, folks, i decided to get some gillette tech. I`m not a collector, so, i will look for some in user-grade condition. She does not need to be pretty, but usable :cool:

    Maybe i need to look on ebay? I cannot see any tech on BST section :eek:

    Welcome to the Den!

    Nothing to add to the recommendations others have made, but you have many good choices, so don't worry too much about picking the very best at the beginning.
