I'm not a complete beginner to wet shaving, but I am to buying a new razor. I've been using something cheap I bought at target for about a year and I think it's time to upgrade.
I figured I would go with an adjustable so I can get a feel for what kind of aggressiveness I like and won't have to buy a new razor as I get better with my technique (if this is bad idea, please let me know).
I am on a bit of a budget, but these are the one's I've been looking at:
Parker Variant: Really like how easy it is to adjust, but I've seen a lot of reviews about misalignment and QC issues.
Rockwell 6c: Most reviews seem pretty good, but it seems like its harder to adjust on the fly
Vikings Blade Emperor: Like the ease of the TTO, but I'm a little skeptical of the quality (I have a bad habit of buying the cheaper brands featured on Amazon and getting burned)
Merkur Progress: Reviews seem to be good but I don't think I'd like that handle very much.
Pearl Flexi: I don't really know very much about this one, but it just popped onto my radar and looks nice and is supposedly a higher quality build.
If anyone has used one or more of these or you have other suggestions, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
