I've found that the more deeply I delve into this thing, the more I have a preference for 2-piece or 3-piece razors rather than TTOs.

I think the 2-piece and 3-piece have a more solid, slicker, and stable design. TTOs seem to be a bit bulky, a little rattle, and hollow. Not saying all TTOs suck. Just harder to get a solid feel in one. So far the Rockwell Model T, if you close it properly, seem to give me a solid feel and shave. I can't complain.

Impressive thread revival from 2017.

Wolfman WR1 OC
Charcoal Goods Level 2 SB
Timeless 95 OC

I’ve only used my Rex once, but it’s a smooth shaver and would probably make the list if it didn’t cover the blade tabs.
