Best DE razor for the smoothest shave?
- Thread starter flatlinerz
- Start date
In my rotation I have only Smooth Razor for my Beard/Skin. Merkur 37c and B1 Ikon are my favourable most than S1 ATT Atlas Handle that is not so smooth for me.
On regular CC Barbaros (big Gap) is so smooth and the others classical are for me smooth too, for example Yaqi Beast Cobbled with Merkur 20c Handleor Yaqi Gunmetal Mellon that is an OC but is so smooth.
Merkur CC on my travel Frankenrazor with G&F little Handle is also smooth. Not so smoot in my remembers Feather Butterfly, Fatip Gentile Wood, Fatip Piccolo, and the Head of 1353 G&F similar or equal of EJ Head.

I've tried a lot of razors. The only one I've used since April, which is odd for me to go that long is my ATT Windsor R1.
Close runner up us my PAA Ascension

Smoothest razor I have is the Gillette Hybrid Tech. As @Hannah's Dad says: "Just like buttah".
The Pre- and Post-war Techs, Flat Bottom Techs and 1950s heavy (60+ grams) Techs are also very smooth and wont break the bank.
The Fatip Lo Storto Originale and Gentile are current razors that are exceptionally smooth. Can't go wrong with these.
YMMV

and not expensive
Tatara Masamune, Feather ASD2 and Fatip Piccolo SE Gentile plate are my nominees for this title.
I use Kai SS blades in my Mamba 70...slightly wider blade. Gives it a bit more face feel, but still smooth and effortless.

I shaved this morning with a Timeless .68 and boy was that smooth.
I have 20+ razors from new to vintage and cheap to expensive. I would say the smoothest razor is my aluminum Razorock Lupo. This is the only aluminum DE I own. I do not aluminum razors, so I only own this one. I generally prefer brass or steel, but this is the smoothest razor I own.
I have the same experience with my razorock baby smooth aluminium. Very smooth although I prefer steel.

Razorock Mamba 70 is my smoothest head closely followed by the stainless Baby Smooth. I have almost all of the Razorock heads and enjoy these most. Last night I shaved with the JAWS84 and there is much more blade feel than the with the Mamba 70 and BBS. Great shave, closer than the other razors are capable but not as smooth across my skin. Love rotating thru them all.
60’s Super Speed......super smooth.
Merkur 34c or Rockwell 6c
The smoothest razor I have right now is my sub-$3 Gillette Super Blue "modern Tech." After spending the $20-$30 I did for the King C. Gillette DE, I'd hoped that would be it, or maybe my RazoRock Hawk v2, but no, it's the bargain-basement cheapie from Aliexpress that's beaten out every other razor I've owned (with the possible exceptions of the Feather AC straights that I had but lacked the patience to master).
