Hey Guys,

It seems the 38C is the recent star of this sub-forum so here's my 2 cents worth! I finally used my 38C for the first time this morning after owning it for over a week and I really liked it! While I’ve only been DE shaving for about a month, the 38C with a fresh Derby performed great, resulting in a BBS with 3 passes! I have been using the 23C since my introduction to WS’ing, and I can honestly state there is a markedly different feeling between it and it’s big brother! They both have similar heads, so that wasn’t a shocker, but the difference in weight is noticeable. I don’t want to scare any Newbs into thinking the 38C is too much, because it isn’t ungainly due to its extra heft, just a different feel.

I bought the 38C thinking I would prefer the extra heft of the fat handle, and I don’t think I’ll have any problems adjusting, but now that I’ve tried it I might actually prefer the lighter weight 23C! I’ll continue to use the 38C for a few days before I pass my final judgment, but I suppose worse things could happen than having 2 great razors to choose from!
