Thread: The ultimate Safety razor

My above post on the Slant is tongue in cheek. While it is my personal favorite I also am quite fond of a variety of Gillette old three piece and later TTO razors. Particularly the early super speed, Aristocrat, red tip and some of the British made stuff. It is all personal preference after all is said and done. I can never bring myself to shave with them anymore. The straight shave is too good to waste.

I'm kind of fond of the 60s-70s Superspeeds. I only have 1
left, a NIB 70s SS with black metal handle. Oh, and I opened
the box...

The best shaver? Totally subjective and blade dependent. Best design and looks: 40's Superspeed / Rocket / Aristocrat Jr. for me, because there's nothing superfluous or glitzy, and you can see the quality at glance. I absolutely treasure my AJ - I even use it from time to time!

I've tried a few different razors, fixed and adjustable but I always seem to go back to my open comb Merkur "1904" with IP blades.
