Hello gents, now the Christmas is near my wife has asked me for a list. I dont really need anything, but now that Im back to wetshaving after taking a long break and growing a beard, RAD is biting me again.
I currently have in my arsenal a Merkur 37 which I used when I started wetshaving years ago and it has served me well. A merkur like razor that is smooth but a tad on the mild side. I also have an old type Gillette clone made in England, I haven't shaved much with this razor to be honest. Recently I also acquired a Merkur 34C by trading it for a Rockwell 6c that I got a deal on in Amazon. To be honest I tried the Rockwell and I knew right off the bat that at least for now, wasn't gonna be a razor for me. I felt the profile of the head was a little to thick for my taste, thats why I would never consider a Futur or a Progress as a razor for me. I also have 2 Open comb Razors heading to me but delayed due the massive volume that the USPS is handling. They are an Open Comb from West Coast Shaving and a Merkur 15C.
So that being said the razors that I had in mind are the R41, the Parker Variant or A Maggards Razor with a V3A head. Im open minded and the budget is $80. Or do you guys think I have a big enough line up for now.
Thank you
