You’ve decided to give a single blade safety razor a try. Congratulations! But which razor? There are many different types of “old school” double edge safety razors. Some are based on designs that have been around for many years. Others offer a new take on the old stand-by’s. Which ones are the best bets for beginners?
This article gives excellent advice. I went with the Merkur 34C, and still use it today. It’s worth noting that many heads, such as the Edwin Jagger D89, can have the handles swapped out. I added an iKon made from solid stainless steel with good knurling. They end off with some advice about razor blades, which is also very true, you’ll get different shaves from the same razor depending on the blade you use, so experiment with a few different blades.
