Goodbye Merkur VISION and hello to ?
I'll go buy anything DE but what should I get? I have nothing to compair it with. Can I ask you to put in your favorite DE and take the results to buy the most favorable one? Thanks in advance.

I had a Merkrur 38C before I started straight shaving, it's really well built and a quality razor.

Thanked: 1 Love my Merkurs
I have the Merkur Futur and the Progressive. Both work very well. I prefer the heft of the Futur. I'll NEVER go back to the Mach 3 blade again. These shave much much better. I only use the Mach 3 to shave my upper lip just under the nose. The sled works best for that tight spot. Otherwise - the DE Merkurs are tops!!

inconsistent shaves. not knowing how to adjust it. not sure if its bigger gap is better or smaller gap is better, so i put it in the middle. Originally Posted by mbeem

Weening myself off a Gillette 50's SuperSpeed. It's a really nice razor, I suppose they all are once you dial them in. In the middle on the aggressiveness scale.

Before going to the straight I used the Merkur HD and the HD slant. The regular is more forgiving, but the slant is more aggressive. Between the two I would recomment the Merkur HD, overall good safety razor.

Merkur HD or 38C. The 38C is heavier and has a longer handle. Both are great DE shavers.
