Most maneuverable and best for buffing? Your top picks?

[KillerQ]

My PAA Prismatic and my BullGoose Asylum Evolution fit both categories for me, actually. They move around at any angle, and I can buff for days.

Brother Q,

The Type E, G, and I Schick injector razors, and the DE Gillette Flare Tip and Red Tip Super Speeds probably are the best for maneuverability and buffing, but others are fine too.

The name Super Speed has a literal meaning. It's not just advertising hype.

Santa,

Interesting - thanks for the feedback!

Gotta say post war ball end tech...

I agree with the Asylum Evolution, but I do not have the Prismatic. Instead, I would say my PAA Grackle DOC fits the bill and is my best buffing razor.

For me it's probably the Merkur "1904" 42C closed comb safety razor, followed by a nickel-plated Pre-war Gillette Tech. For some reason buffing is easier with plated Tech than the brass ones, for me.

Merkur Progress (set to 2) or Weishi 9306

Easily, the Goodfella OC. Shaving under the nose requires zero effort or attention.

BBS or Wolfman best I have used due to narrow cap. Almost too good; can bite on inner nostril if careless. Reminds me of straight edge in that regard

Weber PH with Classic handle or Gillette Fatboy and Slim.

PAA Nickel DOC.

I haven’t found a better maneuverable razor than the Wolfman, by far the best under nose and tight spot razor. The only issue I have with the Wolfman is that it’s too much of a work of art that I feel a bit guilty using it as a daily driver, as I have to polish that razor up after each shave.

Another vote for a tech. You want maneuverability AND mild enough to buff, Gillette tech is the answer. Pick your vintage.

 

[RazorPete]

Pre-war Gillette Tech

Another vote for a tech, they perform amazingly, they last forever and they are very inexpensive.

For comfortable buffing a closed comb. For me it’s a Fatboy.
