Hello,
I've been on here before and decided to log back in. Anyway, I've been wet-Shaving since about 2015. The first razor I started with is an Edwin Jagger DE89, which I still use. I also have some Vintage Gilletes including a blue tip, Silver Tip, Red Tip, and some Vintage Gillette Adjustable razors. In addition, I have a Merkur Futur and a Parker 99r. I really stay away from using those two because the Merkur Futur has a large head and it makes it difficult to shave under the nose. I know you can go at an angle, but I just gave up on the Futur. As far as the Parker 99r, I find it too aggressive. I recently went back and tries the Gillette Blue tip and got a better shave with it than the EJ DE-89.
I've been looking into open-comb razors and read somewhere that they are good for guys who don't shave everyday and the hairs and shaving soap don't get clogged in the razor/blade. Is that true?
As far as open comb razors go, are they all aggressive? I have somewhat sensitive skin, yet I don't shave everyday, so I was wanting to know if there is an open-comb DE Razor that isn't aggressive?
I was looking at some Vintage Gillette open Combs, but wasn't sure how aggressive they are.
Any tips or suggestions are welcome.
Thank You
Korey
