What is you most USER FRIENDLY DE RAZOR?

[DesertIguana]

Was using something different this am, as my small collection is Vintage Gillettes, and was think as my Flair is not as FOOL PROOF as my TECH PRE WAR. Seem what ever I do when using the TECH it is idiot proof, mental memory is taking over, after lather, I do a PASS or TWO and done, and seldom get a bad result. If so not RAZOR, it blade being push too many shaves.

My Old Pre 1950's Tech is the most user friendly.

What your ?

Schick Krona may fit the bill.

 

[mikhou]

Henson+

 

[MrSpeedy]

Schick Krona may fit the bill.

Krona for the win!

 

[House Boy]

make mine the AS2D with Feather or Personna Platinum blades. If I could pick a second it would be the SLOCusing same blades.

 

[Kix]

Karve Overlander, no question about it.

 

[AshleyC]

Hmm. I think it would be a tie between the Fatboy and the Progress.

An adjustable!?

Well, it got me to thinking about an old Chevy S10 a friend used to have. The steering wheel didn't adjust and the bench seat didn't either.

The ability to adjust is more friendly.

 

[SalS]

Any of the Henson razors. I only have one razor the +++ and even that one is a ***** cat.

 

[StewB]

For me this may be the Yates Winning razor.

For use, Karve Overlander as @Kix said

For friendliness? The Phoenix Artist Accoutrements’ “el Fantasma” and “el Fantasma Naranja.” They won’t weigh you down and they’ll even greet you in the dark. The friendliest something can be while still holding a razor blade.

For a more frequent shave in consecutive days the aluminum Overlander from Karve all the way.

For a few more days in between the Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB on my @Rosseforp GTB 19.2 gram handle.

For me for what I've actually used (no particular order):

• Schick Krona
• Henson AL13+ or ++
• Gillette Tech
• Yaqi Ghost TI 70

Pretty much all of those you'd almost have to be intentionally trying to nick yourself to nick yourself. I'm sure there are others, but those are what I've shaved with.

 

[Brian H Shaves]

If I had to pick just one, the Henson Ti22 +.

Right in that same wheelhouse are the rest of the Hensons, Karve Bison, Karve Overlander, TRC stainless steel, Game Changer .76, and the Leaf Twig.

For adjustable, the Oliblade.

 

[notsotalented]

At my location and time, I think it's the Feather Popular. She has her perks and quirks but generally a "proven" DE: reasonably priced + mild enough (I think she is one of the mildest ones). One can adopt her and see if he/she likes the Safety Razor world without much financial strain and can be disposed of (gifted away, tucked away in the drawers, traded, etc.)

 

[WetShaveVet]

For me it's a three-way tie. Schick Krona, 50's Gillette Superspeed, or my SS Karve Overlander.

 

[LuckyGlenn]

For me it's my Merkur 34c, Henson, and post war techs.

 

[TinkersDam]

If one is simply looking for an auto-pilot shave, I would say Tech.
If you include blade handling in user friendliness, I would choose a Super Speed.

 

[gdawg55]

For me it’s my Blackbird and Yates H (both Ti models). I can whip these razors around and never get nicks or irritation. If I ever have a bad shave with another razor, I pull one of these two out for the next shave and it gets my skin back on track.

 

[BigJ]

For me, the Lord L6 (simply a GREAT razor at a GREAT price)!!

 

[profusion]

I've got a bunch of vintage Gillettes I haven't gotten around to shaving with yet, but I find my '61 Super Speed to be the most user-friendly of those I've used to date. Effortless, even if it doesn't give me the closest shave in my collection.

Techs aren't as user-friendly for me, because their relative lack of blade feels means I have to pay closer attention to my technique when I'm using them. Incredibly smooth, though.
