okay so i have been used to use Gilette gel and Mach 3 until i found out about proraso. I switched to this routine:
1st
2nd
using a caldo italian shaving brush (badger hair)
i finish with the preshave cream again and then apply the Liquid After
Shave Cream
currently i have been using Gillette Sensor Excel razors. I want to switch to Merkur DE razors. I have been looking at the Classic and Progress. I was wondering what the difference between "Straight" and "Open" meant?
Also, does the Classic from Merkur have a pop off head, or screw on? I really dont want something flimsey...
