Razors with no blade feel?

[Neffarious]

Ya but the mamba has more heft.

I was going to open a thread similar to this one.
I'm also interested in (my case) modern razors (SE, DE, whatever..) that don't have blade feel but are extremely efficient.

1-3 have no blade feel
4-5 have little blade feel
6 you feel the blade but not like other adjustables at the highest settting

I also completely agree. I love the 6S with plate 3, but for those who like a lot of blade feel, I can see how even plate 6 might not be quite enough.

A Karve with the plate AA. Absolutely no blade feel but at the price of the efficiency.

One more for Karve up to D plate, Paradigm Ti version 2, and for me the 17-4

I just received a ball end tech that I bought off the BST. I think it's a late 50's model, but it doesn't have a date code.

If there is no date code, it is pre-1951; assuming the ball end handle is original it is most likely between '45 and '50.

I echo these for the razors I enjoy.

CG Lvl-1 maybe as well.

I'd throw the Feather AS-D2 in there, but I don't enjoy it.

Though I know it is not yet available at retail (I am apparently one of the very few shavers to have one), the Rockwell Model T has minimal blade feel up to about setting 3 or so. It does have a bit more at higher settings, but it is still very smooth. But honestly, at the current listed retail price of $195, I can't recommend it. It is, after all, a primarily zamac razor. If you are in line for one as a KS or IGG backer for around 100 bucks, it's probably a reasonable buy, assuming you ever get it.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Here’s the razor: FS - Gillettes

It’s #2 in the pics.

I would say Karve CB with A/B/C plates and Fatip Gentile.

 

[ackvil]

Feather AS-D2 and Rockwell S with 1 or 2 plate.

Aristocrat junior

I shaved with an ej89 for years ( 8-10). Consider both of these smoother.

Smoothest is hd 500. Also easier to find.

The first thing that came to mind was the Aristocrat Junior. The only razor I've used that shaves well, but there's zero chance of nicks or cuts. The used price, sans case, is typically around $40.
