I found my "Perfect Razor"

[superspot]

I have been a very loyal fan of the Merkur HD for quite a log time. I've tried several but kept coming back to the HD, I only wished the handle was a little longer. A month or so back I bought the 23-C with the long handle. I loved the shave but it seemed kinda light weight. A couple of weeks ago I bought my third Feather SS DE. Like the rest i've bought it is a work of art but I still can't the close shave I like. So I got to wondering, will the handles swap out? Shure enough they do. Tried it the last couple of mornings and WOW, a heavy long handle razor with the smoothness of the HD. So now the 23-C has the Feather handle and the Feather head is on the 23-C handle. This combo could retire my entire stock of razors and become the one "lifetime razor". It may look funny, a chrome head and satin stainless handle but it works.

Seeing it's a german head with a japanese handle, should it be referred to as a Frankenzilla razor?:w00t: :lol: :lol: :lol:

You DO know this won't stop you from buying more razors right?

Just don't want you to think that the sickness has actually been cured...

I am still wanting a straight.

What you've got yourself there is a Frankenrazor. You should post a pic.

Sound wisdom!

I'm surprised you didn't try for the 38C, the Barber Pole version of the HD.

That's what I thought. I use one razor almost exclusively (Stahly/Bull Mastiff Deluxe), but that didn't stop me from buying a Muhle R89 the other week.

OP: Post in a year about your faithfulness to your new-found true love.... :-)
