It's the same as saying if I wanted to take up golf, I should just buy some Fuzzy Zoeller K-mart clubs from a consignment sporting goods store and never upgrade. After all, those Fuzzy Zoellers will get the ball to the green, right?
Damn. I said I was going to sit this one out.
I think there are guys here who are trying to keep you from getting to this point:
That's maybe half of my actual razors. And there's guys here with--I won't call them "collections"--but rather "inventories" that make me quite the poor cousin. They've booked the Bob and Dolores Hope suite, I'm out front running the valet parking stand.
The Gentleman Jon was your gateway. That Tech is a solid choice, as it was for hundreds of thousands of men for several decades. It will not feel "cheap" in your hand, as it was built to last. But it was designed to be useful to the greatest common denominator of customers. The Gillette of that era considered the Red Tip Super Speed to be for men who wanted a more aggressive razor. And while I love mine, compared to my Progress, Ultima, Futur, Avanti, Timeless Bronze, and others, the Red Tip Super Speed is baked tuna casserole from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook.
You've got two now. If you do a third, get something on the "dangerous" side of the house. Preferably an adjustable. Then and only then will you know what you really prefer. Fuzzy Zoellers or Ping Zings.
