Outstanding!
Thanks so much for sharing all that information about the construction and shave qualities of your Darwin Popular, Andrew. I've only seen a few pictures of them. I had no idea that they made it an "adjustable" similar to the Eclipse Red Ring. That makes me wonder which came first. I suspect that it was the Eclipse.
I finally got around to taking some (admittedly poor) comparison photos of my Darwin DEs.
From bottom to top or left to right:
-Darwin Original
-Darwin Deluxe with faceted handle butt
-Darwin Deluxe with rounded handle butt
-Darwin Standard
-Darwin 2-piece
-Darwin Proprietary
-Darwin Popular
I'll make a point of adding better photos and thoughts on each of these razors in the future.
Those are wonderful. Is there any difference, other than handle style, between the two Deluxe razors?
