I was in a surplus store today and I stumbled on this Jagger for 5 bucks, so here I am.
Main questions are:
-I have a beard, which I trim with clippers, so I don't beat up a blade much I just shave around my beard, and not always daily. Do I need the whole lather brush, fancy soaps and lotions, etc? Honestly, with the multi blade disposables, I just used warm water and no shaving cream and have no trouble now. I don't seem to get razor burn at all.
-Blades. I ordered a sampler from Amazon to get started, but is there anything worth knowing right off the bat, that would be helpful? Blades that are really well known for being quality... or the opposite, not good?
I love the idea of using this instead of some plastic throw away, don't get me wrong, I just would like to nail down a decent blade sooner than later.
-Anything I'm missing, need to know? Tomorrow AM is the first experiment...
Had been planning on picking up a Merkur 34c see sooner or later anyhow, so this is dumb luck.
Probably will still get that 34c...
