I was talking about getting a DE razor at work, so for my 30th birthday last week the guys decided to get me one! They decided to get the 39c (slanthammer) with some feathers.
It's a learning experience but I've managed to get by without any serious cuts. I've yet to use the feathers, opting to go with derby blades instead. The slant goes through days worth of hair like it wasn't there. Still having some trouble with corners, but I'm making progress.
I'm not much of a morning person, so I shave before I go to bed, it's nice to have to time to enjoy the process. The great thing is the shave is so close it's still super smooth all through the next day!
