    Default Adjustable safty razors

    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.

    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.

    Ok, I wish I hadn't clicked the Delta Echo link. I've got to have one now.

    The nickel/brass head ones are better than the black plastic one, though the plastic ones may be collectors…someday.

    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.
