So, I'm new to the board, started wet shaving back in January. My first razor was a GEM Featherweight, mostly because I was given a bunch of old shaving stuff and thought I had a cache of SE blades (Wrong!). However, when the Featherweight arrived I picked up some blades and was off and running. A couple of months ago I picked up a Lord 6, thinking (hoping) one of my son's would be interested in trying it out. No luck! So just last week I broke the Lord out of its packaging and gave it a try! I'm pretty impressed. I thought the Featherweight was mild but this is really an easy to use razor! Well this might be starting a slippery slope, now I just picked up of off Ebay a Gillette Super Speed (waiting for that to come in!) I was a bit bored and stir crazy and the Super Speed gets so much praise here and on other forums and it's also the style of razor my dad used when I was a kid!
So, after the lengthy intro.. here is the question:
What razor do I shoot for next? I really don't intend to start a collection. I'm thinking maybe I'd buy one more DE razor. There is a part of me that has been drooling over a new Merkur or Edwin Jagger ($30-$40 range). There is a part of me that has wanted to buy the much talked about Gillette Tech. I've also thought about picking up the Lord Tech (easy to find and cheap enough to just flat out buy.) I've been reading wonderful things about Maggard Razors (and to me, nostalgia is a big appeal but so is finding something undervalued that does an outstanding job!) So you know what I've got. If you were going to tell me to buy just one more razor, which of the ones above (I would consider other suggestions) would it be?
