Umm..I have been using my #178 HD ( I believe its HD in my profile pic and also posted my betterversion into the safety razor pics section)..
and things have been great as far as sampling many razors and am leaning to the Astra Russian made ones..I have tried Merkur, Gillette PermaSharp, sword n wilkinson india, treet..both black and regular blades..n other ones
Astras are kinda like a knock off of the Gillette Swedes with half the price! ;-)..anyways...my question is is it worth switching to a #198 HD Slantbar..any different than mine?...thoughts/suggestions..BTW: I have coarse sensetive skin..and get the under the nose shaving part annoyed when I usually nick my rightside, not my left..normal? (I'm a righty)
I dont put ANY aftershave on my skin...even water gets my face red n blotchy..Thnx!
