When you are starting out it is likely that you will ruin the edge but that is easily fixed.

so the question is which one do you want first?

Hello,

Thanks, yes they are - I like them both but think you're right, I'll probably get another to start with. I'd especially hate to make a mess of the Fisher as it's the only shaver I've owned that's a work of art
