Hi wet shave dudes,

I’ve been shaving my head with a DE razor for a few years now. I’ve had a few cheap £20 razors, but they don’t seem to last me very long.

On one the butterfly mecanism broke. My next was a 3 piece, which I dropped and the chrome chipped off. They were both Parker razors.

After some research, seems the way to go for durability is steel, but steel razors (e.g. rockwell 6s) tend to be above £100.

I’m not sure I’d be OK dropping that kind of money, so I wanted to ask: is there a good durable DE around £50?

Some razors are marketed as “tripple chromed”. Are they any better?

Cheers

    stainless steel or brass razors will also tend to be heavier

    You think a Gillette tech would chip your sink any more than a zamac parker? They’re not that heavy…
