Greetings from NC!
I am new (3 months) to safety razor shaving and am very happy with it. I bought the Merkur from Atlanta Barber (23C, I think) and it has worked well for me with the Personna blades they sell. My next shaving adventure, I think, will be to try a blade sampler to learn which blades work best for me. I've already learned that the Personna's are far better than Wilkinson's available off-the-shelf here in the states. And, its a plus that they're made in the US. But, I digress...
I bike to work and therefore keep a separate set of toiletries in the office. Having convinced myself of the benefits of safety razor shaving, I am ready to buy a second. While I wouldn't be disappointed with another 23C, I am considering using the opportunity to try another, perhaps slightly more aggressive, razor.
I would love to get everyone's opinion on a good next razor for me to try. I am looking for a logical next step in both style and cost.
Thanks everyone!
