Trying to navigate my way to a little better experience. Liking the whole "wet shave" thing so far with the DE safety razors. Went from a Dollar General TTO a couple months ago to a Parker 87R TTO. Tried a Feather razor in it, I got through it, but not without irritation all over my neck. I guess my skin's way of slapping my hand saying "NO, not these...these aren't for you!" lol. Parker 87R seems to be ok, though the build quality underneath is a little on the shoddy side. Most importantly, I have learned that the skin on my neck is super sensitive. Is this something that will improve the further I go into DE safety razor shaving?
I'm assuming I should probably look for something on the milder side (at least from what I've kind of been reading).
I have also seen a lot of referrals in older posts in these forums to the Vintage Gillette Tech razors, am I steering in the right direction there? My price range unfortunately would be on the cheaper side like $20 - $40 range.
