I would look for a 1930's gillette NEW or NEW improved on Ebay. They are fairly mild and not as expensive as a merkur or muehle. Pretty much any of the earlier Gillette open comb razors are not bad. Get it, scrub it with a toothbrush and soft scrub, dunk it in boiling water and dip in rubbing alcohol depending on how much of a germ freak you are. Don't let the open comb scare you. I like the open comb cause it actually lets the lather stay on your skin right up to the blade instead of the closed comb that moves the lather out of the way before it gets to the blade.
