Best adjustable safety razor, your favourite

[Haiku]

I had somehow entirely forgotten that the Karve Christopher Bradley is adjustable. I have one with a B C and a D plate and I've so enjoyed the B plate with a Feather blade that I pretty much forgot about the C and D plate entirely.

The Christopher Bradley is a brilliantly designed and fabulously made razor. Made in Canada by a true craftsman.

Everyone should get one.

Nice razor but like Rockwell it's adjustable like a Wolfman or ATT or Timeless or Charcoal or Ikon or Game Changer is adjustable, ie it's not. It's a razor available with different plates.

I don't consider multiple plate razors to be adjustable. They are cool for sure, but you can't simply "adjust" them between passes without taking them apart. If it has a knob to turn - whether it's a Fatboy, a Variant or a PAL Injector - it's a true adjustable.

If you have multiple plates, you will usually find one you like best and you'll never bother taking the razor apart in the middle of the shave.

I got my eye on that one when it’s available again.

How can a Progress be too bulky and Mergress not? That's quite a trick. I guess you mean you prefer the Mergress balance that the expensive knob gives you..I don't know my (vintage) Progress balances perfectly

Ooops, I meant the Merkur Futur being bulky not the Progress - good catch of this mix up.
Sorry

That's probably why it didn't occur to me to consider my Christopher Bradley for this thread.

I'm glad you mentioned the PAL adjustable, a razor that doesn't get enough attention.

Today use Gibbs 17-very comfortable razor. I think if the handle was longer and heavier-a great shave

I've got the usual Gillette contingent:
195
Slim
Super Adjustable 109
Super Adjustable 84
Black Beauty

My face apparently isn't big enough for the Fatboy - it feels clunky & awkward. The Slim is my favorite. The 109, 84 and Black beuty all shave well, but aren't anything special until I use them with a Rapira LUX blade.

I own 6 different adjustables. I think for most people, the Progress is the best bet. I love the Fatboy and Slim, but it's not unusual to get them with blade gaps that are a bit off. If you are willing to splurge, the Ambassador is great. I saved for 6 months and just got one.

Actually, when speaking about adjustables I completely forgot this one which is one of the strangest ones: The late 1930s Davies Rythmic. Actually a fine shaver!

Thanks so much guys. Yes, I was stoked when I stumbled upon it by chance.

I have two.

Karve - uses plates to alter closeness. I found the F plate (most aggressiVe) to work the best. Love it as a daily driver. Will never buy from Karve again. Horrible business sense.

Parker Variant - adjustable on the fly. Awesome shave.

 

[Felix G]

You have to try the G plate. Magnificent

I’m looking forward to getting a Taiga when they are back in stock.

Is it true it’s smoother than the Rex?
