Hey, forum at large!
I’ve been wet shaving with a Merkur DE for roughly 10 years, but came to that after a really janky vintage butterfly handle I inherited from grandad.
The Merkur 42C has been my only razor experience thus far, but I’ve cycled blades and soaps and balms around. Am running low on my go-to Personna blades and realized I should try out other handles and heads. So here I am, seeking The Mysteries.
I clean up cheekbones and neck once a week, and have a fulltime thick, dark beard that’s pretty coarse. Realizing that maybe the Merkur is too mild for that kinda thing, and it would explain the irritation I get because I’ve gotta go over my neck too many times. Took me 11 years to realize this… lol. But even slow learners learn eventually!
Just ordered a Henson aggressive and am considering a Yates 921-M but that’s a lot to drop at once, so we’ll see.
