Thread: Favorite Razor & Blade Combination

For me it's a Gillette Old Type open comb with either a Feather or a Gillette 7 o'clock yellow. I like the aggressiveness.

A Gillette "Fat Boy"
With the Gillette Swedish Blades

A Gillette Travel Tech with Feathers; and everything else with Super Iridiums. I have a silver SS, a black SS, a Merkur 1904 open, and a Feather Portable. My injector currently uses ASR blades.

A Merkur Vision with Wilkinson or Birman blades (small family factory and shop in Basel where you can buy wonderful sharp and comfortable blades - the man who was making the blades is now dead but they still have a small stock)

A Gillette Fat Boy with Feather blades.

I've only got one I bought the 18 dollar feather with derby/feather/lords blades with it.

I've shaved like 5 times now with a DE and I've had 1 great shave, 2 with irritation, and the rest where I would call normal.

I think the feather razor, with a feather blade is great if you take your time

It's a toss up for me between a Futur/Derby Combo or a SuperSpeed/Feather combo.

Gentlemen,

I have an Edwin Jagger "Chatsworth" barley, an Edwin Jagger Mock Ivory and a Cyril Salter. After experiencing a parade of blade bands I have settled on Feather and Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (yellow packs). They work equally well in all three shavers.

I enjoy my 47 Gillette SS with a feather blade.

I'm a fan of the slant (vintage Merkur) with Feathers. I also like a '50s Aristocrat with Derbys. Two different kinds of shaves, but I like them both.
