I was wondering if any of you experience problems where a razor just does not work for you. What I mean is a razor that just doesn't fit your shaving style or live up to its title. I currently only own a gillette tech, gillette fatboy, and merkur 34c HD (Don't worry got 3 GEMs on the way and a possible gillette new in the workings). I have only been wet shaving for about 4months and for some reason the merkur just isn't working for me. The merkur was my first razor and for me it just feels inefficient and to mild i guess. There also is no audio feedback when I use it, which is something I look for. The gillette tech and fatboy however work flawlessly for me. In the merkur I have tried derby, feather, and a few others and while I did get a DFS with a feather in it. It took me a lot more passes than I experienced with my tech or fatboy with a crystal blade. As of right now it looks like the merkur is going to gain dust or get put up for sell.
