G'day all - I've been lurking here for months but only signed up today.
I started DE shaving about a fortnight ago, going against advice here and buying a Merkur Futur from WCS, along with some of the Israeli Platnum Personnas from eBay. Although I'm noticing a lot less irritation than with my old Mach3/Gillette goo setup, I'm still bleeding a bit, and although this is decreasing and will probably disappear altogether soon enough, I thought perhaps buying a more forgiving razor would be sensible, if not for variety's sake than anything else.
On the pretext of wanting to upgrade from the old synthetic Body Shop brush I had rolling around my bathroom from 5 years ago, I decided I'd buy a shavemac badger brush and a Merkur HD, however I can't seem to find the HD at the WCS site, and QEDUSA also doesn't appear to list the razor.
I'm at a bit of a loss - the razor makes shipping to Australia much easier to justify. Am I missing something?
