Afternoon all,
So I recently discovered DE razors just before Christmas after shaving with cartridges for the last 19 years. What a mistake that was! I only really shave 3 times a week (not because the hair doesn't grow, just by choice. I have sensitive skin). I've always been an advocate of men's grooming, but this has added a whole new level to it.
I already have a Merkur 23C (long handle), a MÜHLE R41 and 2 razors that were gifted to me which I have no clue what they are. I'm looking at buying a DE89 from Edwin Jagger next and asking for a OneBlade for my birthday. My goal for this year is to purchase a Gillette fatboy. I'll have to put some money away each month as I don't have a lot of expendable cash. It's an absolute rabbit hole this game, but at least when you are buying something it has a practical use.
My starter for 10 question is, do the different brands of razor and types ACTUALLY make a difference to the shave or is most of it technique? I've heard differing views.
Looking forward to getting to know some of you and I hate you all in advance for continuing to lead me down the DE razor rabbit hole!
