Are there any safety razors with a more modern look to them?

I was looking at the plating on some of the Weishi razors and was wondering if anyone knows of any safety razors with more of a modern look to them.

I heard Parker is also nice but I never saw one.

The merkur vision or futur both look great. and despite what others might say they provide an excellent shave.
 
Merkur Futur is very modern-looking, reasonably priced and considered by many to be the ultimate adjustable razor.
 
I like the looks of the Carlton Chatsworth Barley Metal Razor on Truefitt & Hill's site, although I don't know that I'd drop $149 on one though. I don't suppose anyone knows how they shave?

The "Pear Black" Weishi that they have on their website, I wonder if that's the same color as the gunmetal one. Too bad about Weishi's being so mild because I'd like to have one.
 
You could take about 50 empty mountain dew bottles, melt them down and dip an old gillette in them to get a nice coat of green plastic. That the modern you're shooting for?

j/k.

There is one I like and it still looks like it comes from the future. The Stahly live blade.
 
How about a Personna Injector?

I've always thought the Wilkinson Sword Razor commonly referred to as the "Sticky" was very modern looking, especially since it was made 40 or so years ago. I believe it actually won some awards for it's design.

I don't know if we can post coupon codes? I thought i would point out there's a 20% off discount code for truefitt & hill. It's not very hard to find. That could make the futur about $55. or the "Carlton Chatsworth Barley Metal Razor" just 120.
 
or get the best of both modern and vintage, get a handle and a gillette head from cooncatbob.

Not only is the futur awesome looking... but it shaves so well! A very wide range of razor blades work well in a futur. Just pop one in and go!

It also has weight behind it. Feels really good on the face in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm getting used to that NEW head on my Bull Mastiff and Bob's razors are great. If you want something special, get that. Though they don't look particularly futuristic.
