Greetings all.
I just started DE shaving 5 weeks ago after decades of disappointing electric shaves.
After too little web searching and Amazon reviews I jumped in and got a Vikings Blade Chieftain.
Advertised as a beginner razor I have found it too aggressive for me and I switched to a Feather Popular for $16 and have had much better results. 4 shaves in a row with no nicks, cuts, or weepers on the same blade.
I have ordered a Razorock DE1 based on a lot of popular reviews here. The claim is it shaves just like a Gillette Tech.
Now on to my RAD.
I am looking to add another razor with these parameters.
1. 3 piece razor.
2. Light, as in under 70 grams.
3. Closed-bar style, NO combs or scallops.
4. Non-adjustable style.
5. Multiple base plates acceptable.
6. Blade gap less than .73mm.
7. Blade protrusion from cap 1.16mm or greater.
8. Titanium, aluminum, SS, or brass acceptable materials.
9. Modern.
10. Cost-don't want to limit myself here as I have pretty much ruled-out every Parker, Merkur, Muhle, EJ, and Gillette.
11. I plan on using Feather or Astra SP blades.
12. At least 2 picks please.
Thanks all
Happy shaving!
Doug
