Hi all.
I'm 51, from the UK, and, while I've been using a safety razor for a few years, I only started taking it seriously and trying to do things properly last year.
I am using a Merkur travel razor that I bought many years ago on a whim and for most of those years I used canned gel or just shower gel. Last year I got myself an Omega 48 brush, some Proraso white soap, and a 100 blade sample pack. I watched some YouTube videos, worked on my technique, and am now at the point where I can get a pretty good shave most days, and only get nicks when I do something silly, which is becoming rarer as I get more disciplined about my technique.
As I progress I find myself wondering if the travel razor is the best option for me. I am considering some other razors and would appreciate some advice, would this be the correct forum to ask in?
Thanks for reading,
