Hi guys.. I'm recently changing my shaving routine to manual shave, after my trusty electronic shaver I was using for 6 years finally broke down. Didn't felt like buying a new electronic shaver, I went into Guardian and bought myself a Gillette® Fusion® ProGlide™ razor.
So far so good and I get cleaner shave compared to my electronic shaver. But the downside of the Fusion Proglide is the refill cartridges are so expensive!
I'm thinking of getting a good DE razor, with no budget constrain. I've been reading some online articles and most of them recommend Merkur or Edwin Jagger.
Is there any more better razor's brand which I can buy? Is there a local shop around KL/PJ where I can "feel" the razor on my hand before I buy one?
Hope I can get some advises from fellow members.

If u need the angle get the below or the merkur progressive adjustable or futur https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/135860...ving-reinvented

Ya, that's the difficult part. Else it's really try and error. Anyway, I've been doing a bit of reading and I think I'll go with Merkur 34c. QUOTE(patryn33 @ Sep 22 2014, 09:11 PM) in fact feeling on your hands does not tell u anytjhing, different blades different feel too on the face. U have to shave with it to really feel. I don't dont think any shops will let u test on your face.
