So, as a newer DE shaver I am planning to acquire a new Razor from WCS in the very new future. I have a ball end gold Tech I picked up in the BST here, and am loving shaving with it. I have been wanting a Merkur 34C HD for quite a long time, and had every intention of getting one for Fathers Day, but I am also now considering a 38C Barber Pole. I've read the reviews, and both seem to get good press.
Side Note: This will be probably my only NEW razor for quite some time, and I really love the look/size of the Barber Pole as compared to the regular HD. I'm still torn between Red or Blue if I go with the 38.
So, I'd just like to hear opinions from more seasoned wetshavers on the pros/cons of going with the 38 Barber Pole instead of the 34 HD before committing to either one?
