newbie looking to graduate from cartridges.

Hello. I have been using cartridges for 30 years and I'm finally looking to graduate to wet shaving. I have been doing a lot of research, mostly from lurking on this forum. I made my first impulse buy with a Merkur Vision adjustable razor. Needless to say, this is a suboptimal beginner razor, and I was chopped up a bit. So much so that it scared me off wet shaving for awhile. But I'm determined to learn. I think I've done a good job with basics...like producing a nice lather and preparing my face for a shave....so back to choosing an appropriate razor.



I have read a lot of positive comments on the Cobra Classic razor. So now I'm thinking.....should I get a more appropriate beginner DE razor, such as a Merkur 34C...or just go Cobra?



Thank you in advance for your help.
