I've been wet shaving with a DE razor for about the last 10 years (this time around...I learned to shave with one back in the dark ages), but up until now, the only modern razor I've used is an Edwin Jagger DE89. All my other razors (several dozen) are vintage Gillettes, covering pretty much the entire history of Gillette DE razors. I like using the DE89 occasionally; I find it pretty mild and usually use a Feather blade to make up for the mildness.
However, it seems like there has been a profusion of modern, high-quality DE razors over the past few years. I'm wondering if I have missed out on something? Are these new razors as good as...or even better than.. the vintage Gillettes I have been using? I'm a daily shaver with a fairly light beard, so I'm not looking for something super aggressive. Give me some recommendations, preferably reasonably priced, and let's see if this old dog can learn some new tricks!
