Any Wet Shavers, here?

[Volos]

Nice razors! Do any of them really stand out as your favorite?

For me
For every day shaving, the Razorock Game Changer CC is the best choice.
If shave twice a week, then the Razorock Superslant L2 works well.
If shave once a week or less, then the Razorock Wunderbar is suitable.

But the Razorock Wunderbar has excessive aggressiveness, and in my opinion, it’s even more aggressive than the Muhle R41.
With the Wunderbar, you definitely can’t rush — you have to be extremely careful and attentive.

Nice! When I decided to try DE's I bought a Merker 36c and have stuck with that. It seems to do everything I ask it to. Although, It does seem to get clogged up to the point after a few strokes I'll need to run it under the water and unscrew it a quarter turn or so do drain out the clogged hair.

Still trying to learn the art of a straight razor shave thanks to J jeffbird - he's got me on a great path

Nice! The 36C is a solid choice. I’ve noticed similar clogging on some of my razors too, especially the more efficient ones. A brief rinse or loosening the cap usually clears it.

I have modern razors but very much prefer the old Gillette razors most of mine are 50 to 100 years old and work as well today and when they were new. All of mine are very clean examples and a couple of the very old open comb ones were refinished. I don't have a heavy beard (rather light, actually) but if one knows how to shave, I challenge the idea of too aggressive.

I like a good shavette. Usually I’ll use a japanese style one.

What’s the point of using a shavette when shaving at home? It’s better to use a straight razor. The shaving technique is basically the same (+-), and the chance of cutting yourself is similar.
In public places like barbershops — yes, I agree, mainly for hygiene reasons. But at home?

Because I like the hygiene, even at home. I’m a physician, so I know some things about the human body and pathogens etc.

Reusing a blade that’s been wet, dragged across your skin (and therefore contaminated with staph and strep) then left in a drawer, then knicking yourself with it, can introduce bacteria to your body. Over time, those repeated exposures can put a strain on your body.

So i choose a new blade each time.
