I stared shaving with the Popular Feather razor, and loved it; then i got a EJ DE89...now I need to try an open comb razor (at least that’s my story with SWMBO). I’m thinking about gettin a Merkur 25C, any suggestions?
Thanks, let me check it out...Gillette NEW Long Comb. It’s a smoooooth but efficient classic.

I rather have one with the long handle...and I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m not comfortable with second hand razors
+1 Excellent suggestions.If you're looking at the lower cost options then the Gillette Long Comb New is an excellent suggestion. The very best of all of the vintage razors I've tried, plus you can use a modern handle on it to give it a bit of an upgrade. If looking at only modern razors I'd likely look at trying to get something in a last a lifetime metal like maybe a Fatip (brass) or one of the lower cost all stainless steel razors from RazoRock.
+2 on the New LC and Fatip+1 Excellent suggestions.
Why not get a replated vintage razor?First: thanks a lot for taking the time for answering my request.
I know that the razors “pre-loved” (love the expression) don’t have anything wrong...i’m just a weird guy (I die a little bit every time I have to eat soup outside my house, and SWMBO don’t let me take my spoon with me)...in fact I was thinking about getting some of the razors “pre-loved” (I just love this) I often see at the “tianguis” (flea market) and sell them...
Again, thanks a lot. I have homework to do
