[QUOTE="PozzSka, post: 339322, member: 3170"] Another wetshaver here. At the moment I have a beard but still keep the neck trimmed. I've shaved with everything from $1 1930 something DE razors to $300 straight razors. I prefer straights if I'm shaving my whole face everyday, but if I had to pick a DE to use for the rest of my life it would be a Merkur Progress (it's the adjustable one). If I had to pick a vintage gilette, it would be either a 1950's super speed or a black handled super speed. Slight edge to the black handled. Then get a huge sampler of blades and work your way through it. As for brushes, my favorites are by Morris&Forndran out of London. FWIW. At the $20 price range... My choice for a brush would be a boar from Semogue. For a badger hair your least expensive sweet spot is making your own ($20 knot and $20 handle. = $80 brush) or about $60. Kinda like briars. You're better off with a $10 cob than a $10 briar. I think I have some handles sitting around if you want to make one of your own. Shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up with a handle and all you have to do is glue a knot into it. [/QUOTE]
