This week marks my one year anniversary of DE shaving. I have used a handfull of razors and have used a EJ Chatsworth consistently for the last 9 months. I can get fantastic shaves with it and would be happy using it for the rest of my life, but I'd like to try my hand with a more aggressive DE razor. Here's where I could use your feedback/suggestions...
A few thoughts, I tried straights but just couldn't get with it, not necessarily shaving with them, but all of the razor prep, honing, stropping, etc...not for me. Also, I don't like vintage razors, i just prefer the look and feel of the new ones. I have been reading a lot about the 2011 R41 and it sounds like it is on the very end of the aggressive spectrum, not sure I'm ready for that, is there anything in between the EJ head and the R41?
