Jul 25, 2013 #2 cernel_joson Might as well go for any number of old Gillettes. Maybe a bar handled NEW.
Jul 25, 2013 #3 TacticalPanda The Gillette NEW is an amazing razor and quite forgiving. It'll also be an open comb as opposed to safety bar.

Jul 25, 2013 #5 S santamariasteve All good suggestions, but what about a Schick Injector Type G or a Gem Clog Pruf? They are commonly available on the bay at low cost. You did say you wanted some variety. Didn't you?

Jul 25, 2013 #9 Kent Kimmons Virtually anything by Gillette after 1930. The pre-1930 (Old Type) is great for some but others find them too aggressive. One exception I can think of is the 1904 Gillette, or any of its modern day replicas.
