I'm looking for a new head razor. Experience has given me some notes.
Wirey hair, shaving with the grain seems useless on face or head. Against the grain rarely bothers me.
Rotary electrics take ages and I just end up with a looks shaved but feels like sandpaper stubble. I prefer a smooth shave when possible.
Headblade works very well for me. The only problem is blade availability, cost, biofriendlyness.
3 blade leaf (bought used) treated me ok till I dropped it and screw mechanism broke. No warranty since used.. and break if dropped once turned me off on replacing it.
Merker futur.. Just have not found right setting and blade combo. Either spend 30 mins not getting anywhere or massive irritation/nicks cuts... I would blame my technique/patience likely for most of that.
Looking at proof razors as an option.. the appear to be easy quick low skill required setups. Concerned that reviews say they are so mild it may not get the job done.
So... my go to has been headblade.. quick no brainer effective close shave.
Hoping for suggestion on quick effective non cartridge, non electric, non proprietary blade razor.
As much as I enjoy the shave ritual when I have time.. I don't want to spend 30 mins b4 work to get a good close shave.
Opinions advice welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
