Happy birthday in advanceHi guys
It's my birthday coming up soon and I want to treat myself to a new razor and possibly brush.
I have been using the Merkur 34c HD as my sole DE razor on and off for a few years. Only really got properly into DE shaving for the last few months.
I have quite thick and coarse hair, but have quite sensitive skin at the same time, especially around the neck where my hair grows in multiple directions.
I have found that the Merkur has worked well with sharp, but smooth blades, such as Perma Sharps and Polsilvers. Irritation is minimal. However, the Merkur does struggle a bit when I have more than a couple of days hair growth and tends to clog up.
I'm thinking an adjustable razor so I can dial up the aggressiveness on the first pass on days where I have quite a lot of hair. I can then dial is back down to mild for the last pass. I only do two passes maximum.
In terms of the brush, I just have one at the moment. The Semouge 1305 boar hair. I would like either a badger brush or synthetic for those days when I feel like a change.
The budget is £100 for both razor and brush, but I could stretch a bit more for something special.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
A great suggestions here and very good value. I particularly like the Maseto in 30mm knot although it would take about 2 weeks to ship to you.A Maseto brush is hard to beat for the price, some on here like the 30mm but I find the 24mm is brush enough for me.
Have you considered an OC or SE? The FaTip Piccolo for only £20 is good
Could you pm me a link, please?If you are looking for something adjustable to change mid shave, then the Variant is a good one to have.
If you find your efficiency and stay there, then it's the 6S or 6C.
For the brush, I would check out HoneyFarmDesigns at ETSY. Best brush I have ever used by far and I have 5, going on to the 6th one in flat top. If you like it, I would recommend the 2 band finest knot.
Found them, please ignore my previous request.Could you pm me a link, please?
I can't find them using the search bar on etsy.
Cheers,
Jon
