What Razor Would You Replace Immediately If You Lost/Broke It?

[Ron R]

I have modern and vintage razors and if I could find a replacement it would have to be my Star bar #4 lather catcher Mfg 1920 (Kampfee brothers of Brooklyn NY factory). Just a nice razor to use and also look at.

SE SOTD, OCtober 22nd,2020
Razor: Star bar#4 lather catcher- Mfg in Brooklyn NY 1920 by Kampfee brothers, one of the last & best lather catchers made possibly in USA. Milder mid range + excellent daily driver IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(2) Excellent blade with great sharpness and longevity and smoothes out nicely.
Soap: Colonel Conk Bayrum- mild scent with excellent lather qualities with a great post shave feel. Great price & deal IMO.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm-excellent brush for creating lather with nice soft tips. Have been using this one for years enjoyably.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser+ a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
Prep: cols water rinse after each pass of 2 + pick ups. WTG + ATG + pick ups.
Post shave: Razorock Emperor(RR version of Creed Adventice)aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Star bar #4 & Gem Personna coated blade.

Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

My Gillette Slim adjustable. I know Fatboys are more popular and all but the balance of the slim is my favorite. So much so that I have one restored and replated ready in the hole warming up for it’s at bat when and if my tried and true companion gets injured.

DOC Evolution - Stainless is my standard. I would buy another one for a backup if they still made them.

Luckily I have a few spares and wouldn’t need to sweat it. I’d be happy to play a man down if required.

There's two I would replace:
Blackland Blackbird
Colonial General

 

[lancre]

My first thoughts were Techs and SuperSpeeds. But it's already taken care of. Even my backups have backups.

With me it's a R41 twist and Yaqi Knight Helmet with a long heavy handle.

'79 Spiral Tech made in the UK. I have another one from the 70s but for whatever reason the '79 is just that good.

Doing OCtober, and my only issue is not using my tech!

I would get another Gamechanger .68 SC or Canadian Gillette long comb New, which I just bought on BST as a backup to the one I have. Both smooth, reliable shavers that are a delight to use.

 

[spookmeister]

Rockwell 6S

 

[Hannah's Dad]

Blackbird. Incomparable.

 

[SharpieB]

Rockwell 6S. Luckily I have 2 of them and a 6C.

Gillette Tech...and it's replacement....another Gillette Tech

 

[Badger in the Sun]

Gillette NEW 2-piece RFB. It's what I have used every day for years, aside from a few dalliances. I actually already have a backup.

Hi,

Fasan Red Dot Double Slant. Best razor I've ever had. So good, that I pre-replaced it. Meaning, I have a spare. The only razor make/model I have two of.

Fasan Metal Top Cap

With shot loaded Bar handle to balance the metal top cap

The daily driver

Fasan w/ Gold Fat Tech Handle

• KQY61
• Jan 13, 2014

Showing the degree of helix in a DoubleSlant. also, it looks better with the gold Fat Tech handle.

The spare

Actually, the spare came first, but then I picked up the metal top cap variant and they switched places.

I didn't like the original Fasan handles, but that was an easy fix.

Fasan Double Slant

Plastic top cap version with original handle and box.

Fasan Metal Top Cap

• KQY61
• Aug 27, 2015

With original handle. It is too top heavy.

If something bad would happen to my PBOCS (PAA Bakelite Open Comb Slant), it should be replaced.
...and because this razor is getting hard to find, I have 2 backups!
