Reply to comment by huces01 in [Request] Whats a good equipment to completely shave your beard? by lil-subedi

Safety razors come in different angles, I use a Karve with their open comb E gap, which shaves way closer than say a Merkur 34C.

Mine is a merkur.

What's the "model/angle" I should be using ?

I don't see razors with different angles when buying one

Merkur has an adjustable called Merkur Futur which is supposedly good, that way you get all the angles in one razor!

Other than adjustables, it's just trial and error til you find the right angle for your face & skin.

Personally I really love the Karve system, the angle plates are not horrendously expensive, so I just bought a bunch to try when replacing my old Merkur 34C (which I used for 12 years before upgrading). Turns out I like open combs way better as well, they don't clog up as much when shaving!
