Thread: What is your all time favorite Safety Razor?

Thank you, Richard, for starting this thread. Thank you, OCDshaver, for confirming what I've been thinking. I've been
wondering if there was a difference in DE's (in the way they hold the blade) or if it's just the blade itself.

I almost feel embarrassed to publicly announce my DE is a Micro Touch One. But it's mine and it gives me a great shave,
with my preferred blade, the DORCO Platinum ST300. With that said, I'm back to researching DE blade samplers.

'04 Gillette. War Years or before.

GEM 1912 without a doubt

I only own 1. It was given to me by my late Father when I turned 17 (1987). It was my daily razor up until about a 2 months ago (when I returned to a straight), except a short stint of disposables while in the Army and a short stint with a straight in my early 20's (until "life" got ahold of me).

I would like to find more info on it. However, there is, of course, more Gillette info on the net than Schick info.

I apologize for the late reply, but mine are my Weber DLCs that I have been using for the past five years with custom handles.

No need to get all fancy on us .

Mine is an english Gillette RFB 77 thin handle.

I have a 1964 Gillette adjustable that I use when I don't use my straights. I have a couple older 3 piece ones but I always gravitate to the adjustable.

It has been 2 years since I posted to this thread and things have changed a bit in the mean time. My Wolfman WR1-OC head with increased blade gap on the same Ikon Bulldog handle has displaced the Muhle R41 head on the same handle for favourite spot. The WR1-OC head is a true open comb with better build quality, all machined stainless, that shaves as brutally close as the Muhle R41 but with added smoothness. Ask me again in 2 years and the answer may be different then too.

What did you have the blade gap set at Bob? Tc
