Thanks for doing these reviews. I'm new to wet shaving and was deliberating between the very affordable Weishi and the more costly Merkur 38C Barber Pole for my first DE razor. After seeing this video, I'm glad I opted for the Merkur. Keep up the good work.

can i just by the weishi razor and buy separate (better?) blades? i'd like to get a cheap, first-time double-edge razor. i don't want to buy vintage and would like to stay away from shavettes.

would you recommend this razor for a total beginner who has only shaved with cartridge razors in the past, geo?

Sure, this is a nice mild safety razor, a good place to start, and moderately priced as well.
