Yeah, I know - another one. I currently use a Mach 3, which gives good results with my coarse whiskers and sensitive skin - but lacks the precision needed to keep my beard in trim. I considered getting a straight razor/Shavette, but with my many moles etc. it wouldn't be suitable for my daily shave... So, I'm looking for my first DE razor. Unfortunately, the choices here are slim: either a cheap (Weishi?) twist-to-open, or a Premax (Muele R89?) open comb. (No sign of an adjustable; Dad had a Gillette Super Speed or similar.) Any suggestions? Cheers!
Welcome aboard! I have no suggestions. I purchased my SuperSpeed off Ebay but prices were more reasonable then.
Welcome to the Den! Go grab a favorite beverage, something to snack on, then get comfy before clicking here for all the info you need! See link #4 for what razor to get, and link #7 because you WILL NEED a razor sample pack. Plenty of HOW-TO vids in links #2 and 3. Enjoy!
Welcome to TSD! Looks like Steve sent you in the right direction. You may also look into finding a vintage razor. Those made in decades past were of top quality and worth a look.
Welcome Jaeger! Nice to have another colonial in the ranks. Just an idea but maybe a Feather Portable DE might be an easy starter for you? Ticks most of the boxes for you and if you like it you can continue to use or use it as your dedicated portable. Search will give you links easily or feel free to PM me for links as a nice guy sells them direct and also on Feebay. Cheers, Nick
Welcome to The Shave Den! A great community of guys and gals that enjoy wet shaving, I hope you enjoy your stay!
Welcome aboard Jaeger! I also think a Feather Portable would be a good start. I had a short beard for years and used a Schick Injector to keep it trimmed. Very easy to drive around the corners. Alan in AZ
