As a noob to DE'ing I'm still building my kit.
In terms of razors I've got a Merkur 38C (which I've used for a week, but like very much) and a Gillette Aristocrat in the post courtesy of FrenchBlade.
However, as these are both fixed heads it'd be nice to get an adjustable in my collection (for trying out later when I've got my technique down to pat).
So, any advice? In order of cost (most expensive first) my initial shortlist is:
Gillette Fatboy - £100-ish from stropshop (unless I can find one in an antique shop or that unlikely Fleabay bargain)
Mergress - £70-ish (at current exchange rates)
Progress - £40-ish
Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? What do you experienced DE'ers recommend? I wouldn't say cost isn't an issue but it is, of course, a factor and if I can get an excellent experience for less then that would be very good.
Thanks all.
