I would suggest the Fatip open comb (picollo or grande or even Storto). Is for me slightly more efficient than my Razorock German 37 slant. But u need to find a blade that is suitable, it can be a bit too agressive for me with some blades.I’ve switched to a DE razor about 6 months ago, and am looking for some direction on the search for my unicorn razor…
- Started with a Merkur 42C; WAY to mild and didn’t clean up the neck area to my satisfaction.
- After a bunch of research, I ordered a EJ DE89; which was an improvement but I found it to be a bit irritating due to the number of passes required (4+).
- On a lark I ordered a PAA Prismatic, which was a big step up in efficiency from the DE89, but more irritating and ATG on the mustache area is an every 2-3 day proposition.
- On Black Friday special, I picked up a RR German 37. Works surprisingly well, less passes and less irritation, but a nice close shave though I still can’t shave ATG on the mustache area more than every 2-3 shaves.
- Recently, the RR GC.68-P came back in stock so I immediately ordered one. It has more blade feel than the DE89, but is less efficient… leaves stubble on the neck even with 4 passes and very frequent rinsing.
Where should I go from here? The best shaves I’ve had up to this point are from the German 37, but is there a razor that will perform better?
What are you’re thoughts?
