I have gotten to be pretty much a Sr man these days , but I wont give up my DE razors. I have a Gillete Fat boy, a Merkur Futura, and a Merkur progressive. I like these 3 razors because you can adjust the opening for the shave closeness. Is there any other razors that offer this adjustment. In case I have to buy another DE razor. I can always use another in my rotation.
Gillette Slim
Gillette Toggles
Look at the guys work.

Delta Echo's work is just amazing. Wow!
There is also the Gillette 195 with the adjust dial just above the twist to open (TTO)

There is also the Merkur Vision, but as far as I can tell it has been discontinued.
I prefer my Merkur HD. Not that it's better, it's just simple and out of the box shaves exactly the same as my Progress that I spent months tweaking to my liking.
Uhh those Delta Echo razors looks amazing - pure art and wonderful pictures.
Gillette Black beauty and also the Apollo Mirkon (But the latter can be expensive due to rarity, but Ive seen a a handful listed on ebay this year)
I have a Gillette Slim in its case, but only used it once as I always felt the Fatboy shaved better imho.
There are aslo a few others Adjustable razors but not sur eoff the top of my head.
Enjoy your razors.
Well thanks for the help. I was at a antique shop today and seen a Gillette black bodied adjustable razor. It was the exact model of the first razor I bought in 1980. I may have to go back and buy it they only wanted $10 I should just bought it then.
Ok, I wish I hadn't clicked the Delta Echo link. I've got to have one now.
Hehe, I have one on it's way to Norway.Quote:

Don’t get why some think they are super rare, I see a bunch of them. They are aluminum handled Slims, good shavers, there is the short and long version. Same model longer TTO knob.
They can be disassembled, cleaned re plated and anodized or painted ready for another generation of use. A good buy at $10.
