Opinions needed: Redtip VS Merkur 38c barberpole

[nav]

Hi Gents,

I have been using my redtip and I really like it. I love the look of the barberpole and want one in blue. I wouldn't mind if the barberpole is slightly more aggressive (which I think it may be due to its weight).

For those who have both, how would you compare these two? e.g. aggressiveness, comfort, head design, weight/balance etc.

Cheers,

Aggressiveness is close. A very different shave from each one.
As far as comfort goes, you won't know until you compare them yourself.
