Hello all. I want a new razor and possibly narrowed it down to Timeless, Blackbird or Krave. I would like to try the .95 blade gap but afraid I may not like it, that’s why the Krave is on the list since their plates are the least expensive. I am open to other suggestions. I was very close to a Rockwell but I flinched on the purchase when I found this forum and other options. Heck I may even have a larger blade gap without even knowing it.
What’s in the arsenal:
Fatip Piccolo open comb. I like the shave, it feels a little rough and I can hear the shave (not sure if that’s good) but it does leave a smooth shave. I do have to work on my technique with this razor.
Mercur 34c. Love the shave, but it feels like I still have stubble or a 5 o’clock shadow right after.
RaoRock German 37 slant. My favorite of the 3. Seems the smoothest/effortless.
Razors in the rotation, Kai, Feather, Wilkinson, Astra, Shark, Dorco and Dorco platinum. No real favorite as I rotate through them as I go.
I may not even know what I really want out of it at this point, just a want versus a need. I’m hoping for a smooth, close, easy shave, this may fall under the “pick two of the three” any advice is much appreciated.
