Ken👍👍 Nice selection for the criteria given. I agree with most of your picks, I simply mean they are good choices. The "aggressive" choice surprised me as I have the SS and Cu version of the PAA Ascension razor and find both to be exceptionally smooth shavers, even with the head "adjusted". But, it's all subjective right. Great video, third time's a charm. Enjoy the boys night out.

My criteria are a. shaves consistently b. has even blade centering. c. leaves me looking presentable in two passes when I'm short on time and bbs when it matters. d. can hack at a five day growth that is relatively thick. e. has a narrow head to get into tight spaces. What would you suggest as a budget option that punches above its weight class and could compete with more expensive razors. And an "if money was no object" option? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for All You Do. Cheers, Matt

If you want an excellent shave with minimal cost, effort and time try this: Q-Shave adjustable razor (Merkur clone for $20) and Creemo. I tossed my brush and cup when I found that a cream, massaged with fingers, did a better job of moisturizing. Remember a close and nick free shave is a result of technique 90% and equipment 10%. The Q-Shave razor will not dazzle you with a glittering finish or precision machining, but it will do the job.
Why can't Dougie Fresh make a good razor "homage"? Might lower the prices on eBay for a change.
