RAD killers under $USD 100

[StewB]

Haven't seen a thread on RAD killer razors on a budget, so why not start one?

Have you found a RAD killer razor for under $100 USD?

(I'm particularly interested if you have spent more than that on a razor but found that a less expensive razor works just as well or better)

Merkur Progress ticks nearly every box for me.
So good that I got a spare just in case…

 

[Andris83]

The Lupo SS family, even though in the eu it is around 110eur each, but including tax
You could say any RR stainless razor. The Progress shave wise is great, but build, meh.
There are probably a lot more, i.e. the green cult razor.

RazoRock Lupo.

 

[BanjoCowboyMartaTobes]

Muramasa, 4 Timeless, Blackbird, many Gillettes and I still think the Overlander is by far the best and consistent razor for myself.

I would have to agree that my Lupo 95 SB is my favorite razor and I would be happy using only it for the rest of my life. I consistently get superb shaves with almost every blade I have tried in it. However I still enjoy buying different razors once in a while just to try different stuff.

British Aluminum Gillette Tech. Well under your $100. Razorock Gamechanger could be someone's ticket as well.

There are a few potential RAD Killers HERE .

The Rex Envoy, Karve Brass SB-G, Blackland Razors Dart, RazoRock GC84-P, RazoRock Lupo .95SB, Merkur Progress, Ikon B1 Standard and Fatip Lo Storto Originale (FOCS) - among others.

Then there are some razors that are so good for someone, they buy a backup. <eg>

Lol…I have lots of backups.

Lupo 95 is the closest I’ve found under $100. Great razor for the money…..but my favorites all cost a bit more.

Yaqi Top Aggressive Slant. RAD killer for under $15.

Merkur 34HD with an asterisk, the asterisk being that I'd like to find a SS razor that handles and shaves just like the 34HD.

A Fatip Piccolo (even when buying it twice I still stayed within budget!) and my English Flat Bottom is a great killer as well.

But in full disclosure: both should have but didn’t kill my RAD (I should have stopped after the Fatip in hindsight). That really happened when I got my Timeless (which is outside of the OP margin). And quite instantly as well as far as I have experienced. I have some on my wanted list, but with way less ‘urge’ than prior to the Timeless.

Actually all my other razors are within the set constraint of $100 and all are capable of giving really great too excellent shaves. Stellar if I do my best and pay attention to my technique.

2 on active duty + 2 spares

I own no razor for which I paid more than $17. I did receive as a gift the Fatip Piccolo OC in gold and it is mighty impressive. Beautiful and a great shaver. At $25, why would anyone spend more?

Yep, I have a backup Feather AS-D2 and will probably be buying a backup RazoRock Game Changer, too.

Long or short handle?

Muramasa, 4 Timeless, Blackbird, many Gillettes and I still think the Overlander is by far the best and consistent razor for myself.

Aren't all of those (except the vintage Gillettes) over US $100?

 

[ivan_101]

Long or short handle?

All 4 short.
