Hey! First post and thought I'd jump right in. Little history, I got sick of buying expensive blades and decided to get a nice DE. I'm old enough (51) that I actually started out using a SE razor when I started shaving so I was somewhat familiar with the process. So I ended up with a Merkur 30C that's really nice. Like the weight and it seems made well. But.... the one thing I'm not crazy about is the safety bars that protrude past the blade seem so far away from said blade that the angle needed to actually have the blade hit your skin is IMHO too much. I was wondering it there's a razor with less "overhang" than the 30C? I guess I've seen some posts here about aggressive razors but I really don't have a starting point other that the Merkur to compare and that's why I'm asking in relation to that razor. Thanks!

Also, when you get a chance, please head over to our Hall of Fame and tell us all a bit more about yourself. There are links in my signature to areas of B&B of special interest to beginning shavers--perhaps you might like to have a look at them. If you ever have questions or run into problems, don't hesitate to post them up. We're a welcoming and friendly group here, and there's always someone around to offer advice or lend a hand.
