Comment on Best razor for tough whiskers

  Feather always gets recommended, but there are a lot of people who don’t really like them (myself included). Don’t box yourself in with blades. Get a sample pack and try a bunch.

  Another aggressive razor I forgot about is the Muhle R41. I’ve never tried one, but it has a lot of fans.

    The R41 is a good one to try. It’s very affordable and super aggressive. A good way to test whether you really want/need a more aggressive razor.

    It’s also just a very nice razor to use. Butter smooth and very efficient after a short learning curve

    I didn’t know I could get a sample pack. I’m definitely have to check that out. Thanks.

      I don’t know which country you’re in, but here’s a good source. maggardrazors.com/…/build-your-own-sampler-10-pac…

      You just get a bit of a discount by getting a bunch at the same time. This link is for 10 packs, but they also have an option for 7.

  The merkur slant is really mild. It won’t be more aggressive than your EJ.

    It could be me as well. I’ll look into improving my technique.
