I would like to acquire one (RAD may follow) vintage DE razor without thoroughly researching the field. (Honestly, this apparently lazy request is quite contrary to my obsessive compulsive history of endless research prior to an acquisition.) Hoping you fine folks here would lend your extensive expertise and generosity in helping to kickstart my newest shaving hobby interest.
A few parameters which I think may help:
1. Lowest profile head depth, the lower the better.
2. Mild to mild+. (I favor The Winning Razor and Karve Overlander in moderns.)
3. Heavier weight.
4. SB.
5. Condition: Pristine or revamped.
6. Could be adjustable, subject to #1, above.
7. Budget? No, but depends on meeting above criteria.
8. Have I forgotten anything?
Which brands/models come closest? Are there better and worse places to be searching? What are the hidden pitfalls?
Thanks for reading and helping if you can
