Hi all,
I'm sure you've had loads of these types of threads started, but I wondered if I could trouble you for your advice!
I have been using a safety razor for about 7 years, and so far I have only used the R89 and subsequently the R41, which I currently have, but now I feel it is time for an upgrade.
I am a daily shaver, and while I currently have and use the R41, I have no particular preference or need for an aggressive razor, I simply wanted to try out an open comb at the time. I like the R41, but I would like something perhaps a bit smoother (?), but given I have only ever tried two safety razors, both of the same brand, I really haven't a clue what I'm talking about.
I don't have a budget as such (because I will have this for ages so happy to spend more for someth that lasts), but don't want to spend more if I don't need to!
My only requirements are: I'd like to try something that is stainless steel, and don't want an adjustable at the moment (this wil probably change, but not right now).
The blades I currently have are Astra platinum, BIC platinum, and feather.
My research so far as led me to be considering the following (but open to and appreciate any suggestions):
Feather AS-D2
RazoRock Game Changer .84P
Blacklands Blackbird (although getting these looks tricky in the UK?)
Muhle Rocca
What do you all think? Could you help me out with some suggestions or opinions on the above before I pull the trigger and buy?
Many thanks in advance!
