Is there a difference between the ones with plastic under the head and those that are all metal in shave?
Smoothest vintage Gillette with good efficiency?

Might want to check out the Gillette Deluxe for more aggressive shave. I find it to be a great choice with some stubble as it mows down the growth great. At times, it's too aggressive to use daily but is a great addition to the den.

I have to walk a fine line. I can’t go too aggressive, hence why I am seeking just a small incremental jump from the silver flare tip.
Great suggestions in this thread!! Personally, I would go for a Slim as that would allow a range of options.

I guess I’ll go with that , or what ever is cheaper between the slim and the black handled adjustable. I did find a red tip for a rather good deal on Reddit thankfully.
Yes. The nylon version is slightly less head heavy. It’s beautifully balanced.

No I’m asking of the nylon, some have plastic under the head , some do not and are full metal. Is there a difference between those?
If the underside of the razor head looks like black plastic, that is the nylon version. It is a little bit lighter, but otherwise about the same.

Ahh ok thank you for clarifying
Gillette long comb New is another contender, unless you insist on a solid safety bar.
The LC New is kind of like a Tech but with an open comb, which makes it more efficient. It is still smooth and comfy and could be used daily without any problems.

Ironically I got an adjustable nylon short handle black beauty and it doesn’t spark joy for some reason.
I have been fortunate enough to acquire a hybrid Tech and that's about the pinnacle of Gillette for me, but I do love the Aristocrats with the flat blade bed (i.e., no diamond cut-out around the blade post).
I've tried nearly all of the Vintage Gillettes and the smoothest by far, for me, is the Fatboy.
Same here so I got rid of it.
I did keep a gold one (P1) only because of its scarcity.
I would concur with that.

Yeah I kind of made a BST post and in hindsight should have waited to post the Gillette haha. Whoops.
