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.

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.

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.
