Man, this is tough. For adjustable razors, I like vintage. You could not pry my cold dead fingers off my Timeless Titanium .95OC !
Stick around as very few modern artisan razor makers survive two years in this lilliputian & fickle market.
Hmmmmm, that sounds suspect me thinks!!The vintage razor fad needs to be completely abandoned.
Buy Modern!

His reply gets me off the hook. He’s right. People need to stop wasting their time trying to find good quality vintage razors in the wild and grab a modern one from a sponsoring site or amazon. You’ll be able to peel off the wrapper for around $35-$200+Hmmmmm, that sounds suspect me thinks!!
Not only are there more moderns to choose from, it it also getting harder to find good quality vintage razors in the wild.
