We are all beginners at something when we start with it, something that applies not least to safety razors. As a beginner in wet shaving with a safety razor, there are often many questions.<\/p>

What is the best safety razor for a beginner? Which safety razor is most popular? Which razor blade should I choose? Do I need a shaving brush? Which shaving brush is right for me?<\/p>

The questions if you are a beginner are often many, but it is fortunate that the answers are just as many. Because the answers to all the questions that a beginner with a safety razor has, we have them. Therefore, with this post, we want to answer some of the most common questions we get from beginners in classic wet shaving. <\/p>

One of the most common questions we get from beginners.<\/p>

It should be said that in the basic function, almost all safety razors are equal. But as a beginner with a safety razor, it can still be a bit tricky with all the concepts and terms. Especially if you are looking for information on social media or forums, for example. Therefore, let’s start by clarifying some concepts. <\/p>

Closed comb and open comb are almost the most common terms. This is largely due to the fact that they are central and important to the function and one of the biggest differences between what may seem like two identical safety razors. <\/p>

A closed comb means that the safety razor’s shaving head, i.e. the part where the razor blade is located, has a small comb with recesses along the long side. The purpose of the comb is to try to protect the skin, to come into direct contact with the sharp razor blade and to lift up the beard hairs. Then they can be cut more easily by the razor blade. <\/p>

An open comb instead has small spikes along the long side of the blade and therefore much less protection between the sharp razor blade and the skin underneath. The purpose is still also to lift up the beard hairs to shave them off. <\/p>

For a beginner, a closed comb is most often recommended. This is because it is considered to be slightly easier and safer to shave with than an open comb. An open comb is mainly recommended for those who have very coarse beard growth with thick beard hairs. A closed comb may have a harder time accessing and lifting them up as effectively as an open comb. Of course, as a beginner you can choose an open comb right away if you feel like it, but we recommend a closed comb. <\/p>

In addition to that, there are some additional features. Then it’s mostly a matter of taste and taste in terms of design and form. All the safety razors we sell can be used with all the double razor blades we sell. <\/p>

For those of you who have even more questions about safety razors, we have a nice guide to safety razors <\/p>

The German company Merkur is known for its safety razors of very high quality. <\/p>

The Merkur 34 C is usually counted and mentioned as one of the most popular safety razors for beginners. Something it has done for a very long time as well. With Merkur 34C you get a safety planer with good precision. It has a closed comb and made entirely of metal. <\/p>

For those with larger hands who prefer a longer shaft, the Merkur 34C may feel a little short. Then the Merkur 47C is an excellent alternative. It has a longer shaft but otherwise the same function. Merkur 34G is the same razor as the 34C but in gold-coated brass. <\/p>

M\u00fchle is another large and well-known brand of safety razors and shaving brushes that are ideal for beginners. Also very popular among those who have been doing it for a long time.<\/p>

The M\u00fchle Traditional safety planer is a similar planer that is also an excellent choice for a beginner. In addition to being made entirely of metal, there is also the safety razor with black, tortoiseshell and rose gold handles, all three are also available with matching shaving brushes for those who wish. In addition, it is available in an open-comb version. This is also a very good and popular razor that we are happy to recommend for a beginner. <\/p>

For those who want a larger version, there is the M\u00fchle Traditional safety planer grande with the same function. However, it is only available in the chrome version. <\/p>

A third and fourth option that is also popular among beginners is either the Rockwell R1 or the Rockwell 2C. The latter Rockwell 2C is available in a three different colors. Rockwell safety razors have become very popular in a short period of time. <\/p>

A unique feature especially with the other safety razors is that the Rockwell 2C has a shaver head where the angle of the razor blade can be set at two different angles. This is easily done by turning the side of the shaver head. This is a feature that some people appreciate for getting a closer and more precise shave than a regular shaving head can provide. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
