I've been DE shaving for just about a year, and I've tried numerous razors (see my current and retired DE razors if interested here). I've decided I prefer milder razors, and my daily driver is a pre-war Tech.
For those that are familiar with the mild, efficient nature of the pre-war Tech, how does it compare to the English Aristocrats? Is there a particular model that would offer a similar mild experience, but perhaps be a bit more efficient?
Since I'm in the 2015 annual restraint, I was thinking of making an Aristocrat my completion prize (eight months in the book after today), and an English Aristocrat is the only razor I have on my wish list at this point. I just don't want to spend money on it, if I'm going to be disappointed compared to the pre-war Tech.
