Is the 40s style Super Speed considered a mild/smooth or aggressive/efficient razor?
You know the right answer around here is Get Both! haha...
I have a '47 Super Speed and a '57 Ball End Tech. I enjoy them both. They both do a great job for me and it seems like the Tech is one of the reference razors to which all others compare. Compared to my Tech, I think my SS holds the blade more firmly, which is a surprise to me. I cannot tell this unless my blade has many shaves on it. With a fresh blade, they are similar. With an older blade which may chatter in the Tech, the SS may somehow clamp it down better.
They both shave well with an Astra SP, Gillette Silver Blue or Feather blade.
The SS feels extremely smooth to me. I'm very glad I have one. I use it most often these days. I feel that it is a touch more smooth feeling than the Tech.
Very smooth and efficient. It will not harm you, but you have to know how to use it.Is the 40s style Super Speed considered a mild/smooth or aggressive/efficient razor?
I have a post war ball end tech and will be getting a 40s style SS later this week. I had my first shave with the tech last night.
Yes. I like these mild razors with a Feather blade.Would you say as smooth/mild as a Tech?
