What do you think is the most overrated razor?

[Jason T.]

I read a thread elsewhere called 'What is the most overrated shaving cream/soap?' so I decided to start a thread about the most overrated razor.

For me it has to be the Merkur Vision. Ive read raving reviews about it elsewhere and I nearly bought one, but when I started reading threads about its problems I changed my mind and got my Fatboy.

Its over to you now. It can be any kind of safety razor you want, be it DE or multi-blade.

Newbie here. Just joined this morning. But I'll put in another vote for the Fusion.

Fat Boy Next question?

 

[New Orleans]

Most would agree on the Fusion. The more interesting question is the DE razor part of this.

 

[TSWebster]

[Vanpohl]

I put my vote on the vision/

 

[Aevum]

Any cartrige razor, but if were talking double edge only, i would have to say Merkur Vision, followed by the Slim adjustable,

 

[lamina]

Fusion and maybe the 34C...it's a nice razor but the 23C is far superior...

 

[raven1]

All DE razors .. Injectors are better.

 

[Topgumby]

Fatboy/Slim.

Or is that an overated musician?

 

[waterbear]

Merkur Progress. I get a better shave from my Lords "Tech"!
