Thanked: 275FWIW --
"Razor 1" will work fine.
I would take the price difference between Razor 1 and Razor 2, and spend it on a middle-of-the-road DE razor (e.g. an Edwin Jagger DE89) and some blades.
One day, you'll be rushed, and have to shave around your mustache -- and that's when a DE might come in handy.

PS -- according to one website, the Forestal (razor 2) has a cocobolo handle, and a _full-hollow_ grind. The "Best Quality" is about half-hollow, a somewhat heavier, stiffer blade. They probably use the same steel, and sharpen up to the same edge.. . . . . Mindful shaving, for a better world.
