Thread: Safety Razor Advice

I might move this to the DE section later. I like the Merkur long handled classic, myself. The length of the handle reminds me of the delicate touch that works best with a straight. They both have a similar . . . elegance.

I shaved for decades with a Gillette Fatboy, slim adjustable, or SS (Super Speed). The Super Speed is probably the "gentlest" of the bunch. You'd have to get one used, probably.

Whether I shave with a str8 or a DE, if I want to do ATG I'll pick up either the Merkur Slant with a sharp blade (Feather or Treet Blue or Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp) OR a Schick injector with a cut-off Feather AC pro blade. Works for me.
