Determining the razor and blade combination you prefer is usually a matter of trial and error. Is the skin on you face and neck smooth? If yes, you have a wide range of razors to choose from. If not, then SB razors, especially if they have wide gaps between the blade and bar, are going to be harder to use. The quality of your lather is a factor. Do you shower before you shave? So many things to explore, but finding what works for you is part of the fun. :gl:
