I am getting into DE razors after being turned onto them by a friend at work. Main thing i hate about cartridge razors is that they get clogged with hairs and i would love a fancy little grooming set on my bathroom counter to claim some man space!
I have settled pretty well on the 34C by Merkur. At the selling price of ~$35. BUT then i get to thinking, yes i am just getting into this, BUT this razor will theoretically be around for a long while, I'm not one to collect multiple objects that do the same job.
One of the main things that drew my eye originally to was the thought of a fancy little set sitting there to great me each morning. it was after i started reading the posts her when i realized it offered a better shave too.
Should i just get a standard 34C and start using it. Or should i get a fancy set and be done with it. can i add a nice handle to a 34C later in its life? What do you guys think of this guys work? I like these two that he makes along with the Rosewood. Also how long do the brushes last assuming you get a matching set?
