Forget the Streamline, The Bullet Tip (Flying Wing) is where it's at

[maxman]

You guys have it all wrong.
The Streamline looks nice I'll give you that, but the Bullet Tip (Flying Wing) is the best SE.

Now before you say it, I'll tell you that I haven't tried a Streamline.

Ok. There you have it.

Let's hear what you guys have to say.

Bullet Tip fans stand up and be heard!!!

Well, I have to say the FW ranks a distant third for me in the Micromatic line. The Clog-pruf is number one followed by the open comb in close second place.

 

[DunEdinRanger]

I would have to place the OCMM first, with the Clog-Pruf a close second, and the Flying Wing third. That said, they are all very effective, efficient razors that provide close comfortable shaves every time.

 

[brianw]

Tom I have to rank them as you do...that's what works for me

 

[maxman]

I guess i have to use my Clog Pruf tomorrow.
I may just put up a new thread stating the Clog Pruf as the best SE.

We shall see

Flying wing today for me too....

I agree it is #1 out of all the SE razors I currently have. Nicer shave then the MMOC, push button, US or Brit 1912 models. Tops my list so far but always willing to keep trying to find something that shaves closer and smoother

This is what I said earlier about today's shave

I don't have enough experience to say if one razor is "better" than another, but I think the FWMM is the best looking razor I have.

They are all nice, but the flying wing doesnt flip up my skirt at all, all the MMs are great shavers. They dont get my top notch vote though, and Im an SE guy til the wheels come off.

 

[Dave Deluxe]

I like the looks/design of the "bulit-tip" better than any other of the SE razors, with the possible exception of the Streamline/Jewel. But in terms of shaving ability I have to put it dead last of the "metal" SE's.

Second gen Micromatics are the left handed, redheaded stepchildren of the SE world.

 

[ShavinBacon]

The FW has always been too mild in my book. But I do think it is the best looking of the MM.

 

[mftoms59]

I love my Cog-Pruf followed by the Ever-Ready Shovel-Head and Gem Junior, the Flying-Wing is first in looks & Fourth in performance.

 

[Viseguy]

OCMM stands head-and-shoulders above the FW for me. Haven't tried a Clog-pruf.

 

[InsecureSpike]

I think I'll pick up my FlyingWing today, it'll be the first outing, just wondering how it stands against the ClogPruf, my fave so far

 

[ackvil]

The FW is very good. But the Streamline is fantastic.

 

[maxman]

Wow lots of Clog Pruf love out there.
Today I will use it and report back.

 

[RocketMan]

A good older lather-cather like JrBar puts them all to shame!!

 

[willyb]

Couldnt agree more. Flying wing is cute and all, but perfomance wise is severely lacking to many other SE's. The DAMASKEENE being the most obvious example. And any LC in my opinion.

A good older lather-cather like JrBar puts them all to shame!!

 

[maxman]

Gave the Clog Pruf a go today.
I still like the FW and the G Bar better.

I'm going to stick with the G Bar and the FW (Bullet Tip)

I do love these SE's though. I wonder why I put them aside?

Oh yeah, I was using a Toggle.
Now that's a tough choice.

Toggle vs. G Bar/ FW.

More test shaves to come I think.
