Hi all,
Vintage Razors, I have many (nearly two hundred) since I started collecting Razors (and joining B&B) at the end of this past March 2019. So, last week, I decide I would purchase ONE NEW Razor just to try out. I (more or less) had an idea of which Brand I was going to go with and with the help and guidance of many wonderful B&B members, I made my decision and purchased a MERKUR 37C SLANT which I received last week. To say I'm impressed with the SLANT would be an understatement. The SLANT is beautifully made/beautiful looking and it is an OUTSTANDING shaver! I swore that I was only going to buy ONE new Razor......yea.....right. So, here I am already scoping out the Net looking for a second NEW Razor.
The thing is, as much as I like (photo wise) the looks of the "Timeless" (and other $$$$ Razors) such as "Wolfman", Charcoal Goods, The Ambassador, etc. I do NOT want to spend TOO much money for such a Razor, ESPECIALLY when the likes of Merkur is available for such a (dear I say) bargain cost.
So, now I'm trying to decide if I should go with another model Merkur or perhaps try a RazorRock or ?
Of interest to me (thus far) is the Merkur 15C,
the 34 G (GOLD) Heavy Duty Classic
and (I must confess, I'm REALLY digging this one)
the two piece Merkur 38C Heavy Duty (4" Long Handle) Barber Pole Safety Razor.
For those in the know, how does RazorRock compare to Merkur in overall quality/shave ?
God, I've got R.A.D. bad! Thanks for any help/other Razor suggestions/recommendations.
