What's new

Looking for a new DE!

It's time to pick something new. I've been using a vintage Gillette tech ball end for several years now and looking for a change.

I prefer brand new over vintage (I was having trouble finding a vintage one in decent condition and that's my only real gripe about it...)

The tech served me well, but I think I will be better off with something more aggressive (doesn't need to be R41 agressive though :p)

As for my hair, it's pretty coarse, I have a lot of it and my skin is somewhat sensitive.

I'm looking at something in the $40-60 preferably.

I'm currently eying the slanted Merkur 37c. Would that be a good pick for me and what other good choices are out there?
 
Futur! A little past your range (can find it in the $70s) but you'll never buy another razor out of necessity again. It was my second razor and I've never developed RAD because of it.
 
The Edwin Jagger DE89 series razors are hard to beat; for many (me included) they are the first DE razor. I don't know if they will fit your requirement of being more aggressive than your Tech but in any event are worth considering. West Coast Shaving has them from the mid thirty dollar range up or you can search the B/S/T for a pre owned razor at an even better price.
 
Italianbarber.com just released a new Razor called the SLAB that is at the bottom of your price range and looks pretty sweet. I never try to dissuade someone from trying a slant, though. I love mine.
 
37C would be great!
Mild but effective. If you prefer heavier longer razors, 39C should be your choice.
