Hey everyone, I am new here. Hopefully I am posting in the correct place.
I would love some help picking my next razor.
I've been DE shaving for 5+ years. Not new to it. But have not had many razors.
My beard is not real course and I shave every day. My skin is a bit on the sensitive side.
My favorite razor is the Merkur 37c. But the handle is a bit short. I tried the 39c but it is way to aggressive. The heads are nowhere near the same, btw. Far more blade gap on the 39c.
Never had an open comb, but am interested. Can't really figure out the difference.
I can get a BBS shave with my 37c in like 3 passes plus touch up.
Here is what I'm looking for.
A new DE razor, not an oldie but goodie.
The best there is, regardless of price. Up to about $500.
A longer handle than what comes with the 37c.
My thoughts go to the ATT razors. They have very nice kits that go for $399 which would give 2 full razors and up to 6 combos. I'd choose a slant and a regular. That is a better value than buying 2 of their razors.
Or, buy just one from them. But the idea of having two that I could interchange is appealing.
Thing is, it is not easy to send anything out of where I live. I can get stuff in (expensive) but not out very cheaply. So I'd like to make an intelligent choice and get it right the first time - at least as much as it is possible.
Stan from ATT offered an interesting package:
As for a set
I would suggest:
Colossus handle
Standard cap
M1 plate
M2 plate
Slant cap
S1 plate
S2 plate
So guys, help me out? What would you recommend? ATT, something different? What?
Thanks.
