Comment on Suggest some closed comb DE razors which are mildly aggresive and won't cost much.
LOLseas@lemmy.zip 15 hours agoOooooh no. No. And no.
That Merkur 34C almost turned me off entirely to DE wetshaving, full stop. It’s just a bad razor (I got it while budgeting tighter than nowadays). I can’t badmouth the Mühle 41. I’m slightly bemused about your feelings on the Merkur 34C… you may compel me to root around in my attic to see if I still have it or PIF’d (Pay It Forward) to someone just getting into wetshaving. With my 20+ years of technique finally finessed, and with an okay shave den by now, I might (if I find the cursed thing) give the Merkur 34C another try.
Were I to start all over again at 18yr old, my pick would’ve been a vintage Gillette Red Flare Tip Super Speed ('55-'60), or a Mühle R41. And don’t get me started on Parker razors, either.
@PorkButtsNTaters666, what blades do you use in your Merkur 34C?

I use Astra Greens. I bought 100, and they do the job.

Can’t knock 'em. I’m still working off a 100 pack of those and a 100 pack of KAIs. Still got +/- 8 tucks of Derby Premium (black-themed box) that have done well for me. But Feather is my fave.
