I have been wet shaving about 4 months now and have been experimenting with razors and blades. Here is a brief overview of my journey and a ranking of the razors I have bought and used. I understand everyones experience is different. I started out with a King C. Gillette with KCB blades that came with the razor and used it for 30 days to learn how to wet shave. Maybe because it was my first razor or because it is so easy to use or maybe it’s the KCB blade but I am a huge fan of this set up and if I had stopped here I would have been just fine. The next razor I purchased as a supposed step up was the GC .68 which I did not get along with, found it hard to find the right angle, a little harsh and just not that close a shave. (I am a two pass and touch up shaver medium coarseness and medium sensitivity) tried a bunch of blades and had some good shaves but overall not a good match for me it was inconsistent and would get a few weepers. Next up was the Muhle Rocca r94 which is an incredible razor for me and my daily driver. It is incredibly efficient, gives a very close shave and is irritation free. it is the most aggressive razor that I have but it is very safe no nicks or weepers. I then bought a Fine Marvel because I love their Italian citrus AS and Soap. Marvel razor very interesting design supper efficient and close shave and very safe with the large gap and safety guards. The only downside for me is the head is large and it is harder to get into tight places with also the handle is a bit short and can be slippery, but for the money $27 it is a great shave. After reading a lot of comparisons on this sight and wanting to give Razorock another try I bought a Mamba 70 and found it to be a much better fit for me than the GC 68. The Mamba was smoother a touch more efficient. A nice razor medium comfort, but still not as close a shave as the Rocca or the Marvel. I then decided to purchase a Feather AS D2 that came with a pack of Feather blades. I absolutely love the feather as d2 with the feather razor. It just fits me from the first shave, I found the angle easily, it is more efficient and closer shaving than I expected from what I had read about it. It is a great combination of safety, irritation free, efficient with the right blade and technique and a close shave. So ranking them:
1. Muhle Rocca 94
2. Feather AS D2
3. Fine Marvel
4. Razorock Mamba
5. King C. Gillette
6. Razorock GC .68
1. Muhle Rocca 94
