Hello you all, first of all, I've been shaving with a straight for about a month and a half, and I'm very happy with it.
Now I would like to try using a DE, however I have a few questions before I buy one:
What would be the best razor to buy for a newbie? but also taking into consideration, it will be usable for a while (not something to learn with, and then having to buy a "proper one"... like starting with a shavette and moving into a real Straight).
Also I've read some blades are not so "forgiving" with ones technique... what would be good blades to buy?
And finally, I'm considering buying a Gillette (don't know which model), and I'm wondering are all Gillettes standard? (I mean I'll be able to use any Gillette blade with a Gillette razor?
here are 2 pictures of some models I've been looking at
