My favorite razor of all time is still the first one I ever purchased my Merkur 34HD. However, having purchased a Feather Popular a while back, I find that I am using it more and more since it fits well with my bigger hands. The HD always felt a little cramped when shaving. The Feather Popular is a very adequate razor but the plastic makes it light and not as satisfying a shave, especially on WTG passes.
I wanted to upgrade, and since I liked the butterfly design of the Feather Popular but wanted some more heft I went with a Parker 99R. However after a few shaves I decided that it was not for me. I could never dial in the angle without a lot of trial and error. Besides, when when I did it was much too mild a razor and the bulbous design of the head made it hard to get under my nose to trim those whiskers. Maybe it is the bulbous design of my nose, but let's not split hairs (get it split hairs:).
I am wondering for those of you who regularly use a long handle razor, which one is your go to?
At this moment I am thinking of simply going with a Merkur 23C long handle. However, as I haven't done a ton of research I am unaware if there is a long handled razor consistently deemed to be a favorite among the community. I understand YMMV.
What is your favorite long handle DE? Why?
