Now that I've got a few variations of the Merkur line (fixed head, slant, adjustable), I'm craving something a little more nostalgic and want to try out a Gillette (or three).
I've read the Wiki and while it has a good list, some of the detail is lacking.
I get the impression that Super Speeds and Fat Boys are the two more popular models, with the big difference being the adjust-ability of the Fat Boy.
But from you, the users...what are the big differences other than the obvious. There are a lot more options as far as Gillettes go so can someone give the uninitiated a quick rundown of the differences in the more-readily available Gillettes and what to look for.
I want something I can use, so no Toggles, thanks!
for reference, I would rank my current razors:
Merkur Slant
Merkur Progress
Merkur HD
Merkur 38c
