What sensitive razor to get?

[Dharion]

As titled I'm in search of a new DE. It'll replace my Wilkinson Sword Classic which is particularly used for shaving sensitive areas.

Do you guys think a Merkur 34c would fit that role? Or a Gillette blue or perhaps black tip (Super Speed)?

Err, and here's a list of what razors I already have. I'm thankful for every response but please don't suggest to try using a razor I already have. Though suggesting to get a second one is okay.

Thanks,

Gillette fat-handled Tech.

The mildest DE razor IMHO is the Gillette Tech.

I might suggest a Gillette Tech. Maybe with the aluminum handle for a lighter touch. Mild shaver and a low profile head are good for sensitive places that are hard to reach like around one's nose or under the jaw. I'm not sure how similar it is to the NEW that you have already tried though.

aye a tech is pretty mild...sometimes too mild for me

EJ DE89L - good looking and smooth shaver.

Of course, you could always get an adjustable and make it as mild or aggressive as you wish.

Gem 1912..those who know em know they r amazing!!..those who don't..tend to lean to DE

I agree with the Gillette Tech. I use a gold 40's ball tip when I am in a real hurry because it is almost impossible to get nipped by one.

lol @ "nipped"

Merkur HD

I've looked into the GEM and the EJ but decided they're not what I want, sorry.

Seems like I'll be looking into the Tech. They're quite affordable, too, so that's nice.

For a mild Gillette; Tech, short comb New, blue tip Super Speed, or a Ladies Gillette, which has a long handle.

I concur with the recs for a Tech and Blue Tip Super Speed. Re: your question about the HD, I find it much more aggressive than a 40's Super Speed.

 

[narativesoul]

from what i hear the bluetip is very mild, i have been told that women really liked it

BlueTip with a Feather is my current preferred combination...

One of the Techs might be the one for you.

Another affordable option, and probably the easiest going razor in my den, is a new Lord like this one.

 

[drandall]

gotta speak up for the tech. no razor head is more low-profile or maneuverable...not to mention mild and utterly predictable.

that would be my advice.

 

[honed]

It probably isn't needed, but here is another vote for the Tech.

This is a Treet delrin(plastic) razor that has a metal shaft running through the handle. Very mild razor & the blades line up very even.
