Welcome to the forum from Australia and thanks for checking in with us.
Ah, the journey! I had kept a beard for two decades but always hated the waste and expense of cartridges, so I figured I would go DE. I read up on discussions and there was strong agreement that 34C was a good razor to start, so I got one. I worked on technique and worked through blade samplers but found that I couldn't get close enough. I'd have to do extra diagonal passes and still end up hacking when I got to ATG. Also, I was on a budget quest to find a blade (preferably inexpensive) that got me three good shaves, and my best blades in the 34C were only getting me one. (The best ones, I'll note, were LOI Titanium, Voskhod and Feather.)Welcome! Quite a spread of razors you have there. The red tip is a bit more aggressive than your 34C, they bracket from mild/medium (34C) to fairly aggressive (red tip). How did you find those, if you don't mind my asking? I tried quite a number of razors back in the day and finally settled in on the 34C as my "daily driver" for a long time.
You'll have fun here, I can tell!
Is that real? It looks like something out of a fever dream. You could take of the cap and comb your hair with it!
it sure is real mean lookin' like it could chomp your face in half but with careful technique its one of my smoothest razors because it puts alot if torque on the blade (the blade remains very steady and still) thus less "blade chatter" let me know if you want some more info on itIs that real?
