Hi everyone, I am 27 and I've been shaving since I was about 16. Lately, shaving with cartridge has been giving me a little bit of razor burn but the worst is the amount of ingrown hairs i've had lately (grew beard out for a while). My beard grows fairly quickly and I usually let it grow for a week or two before I shave again. So looking at a thread in reddit I came upon wet shaving and its benefits and I've been sold. I am argentine and like making a good asado (BBQ), shaving should also be an art.
I am looking to purchase my first DE razor and I'd like some feedback before I make my purchase (half-broke masters student). Reading comments and reviews, the Muhle R41 is one of the best but would it be good for a beginner or should I go for a Merker or a Edwin Jagger?
I know the blades used are all about preference so I will buy a variety pack and see what I like best with time but I feel the tool is the most important part of Wet Shaving along with preparation (soap, lather, etc).
I'm sure once I start I will not go back to cartridge based shaving. Also, any recommendation for other products would be great!
Thanks everyone!!!!
