Which modern DE would I like?

[Nobeard]

I'm a big fan of Gillette adjustables. My main razor is a slim adjustable. But I like the fatboy, the red tip super speeds. I also have gotten interestes in older Gillettes, the double ring, single ring and the bell tube.

I like sharper blades, Pol silvers, gillette Nacet, 7 o'clocks, A russian that I can't remember the name

Lately I was wondering what the modern DE's had to offer. Whats available out there?

RAZOROCK GC68 or GC84
Timeless Ti68 or Ti95

I really enjoy the Rockwell 6S. It is an adjustable but not in the same way as the Gillette adjustable. A modern adjustable in that style that works great is the Parker Variant.

If you like adjustables, maybe the Rex Ambassador is a good fit. I don't own it, but it is the only adjustable that has tickled my fancy.

If you like Gillette Old Types, you'll love a Fatip OC.

Considering the razors you like, nothing awaits but disappointment.

I define "modern" as any razor that's still in production. Some of my fav's in random order:

Merkur Futur (a little wild, so I recommend a lower setting, but it's solid and smooth)
Merkur 37 Slant (a slightly closer shave, enhanced by the physics of a slanted blade)
Parker Variant (a little utilitarian in appearance, but it gets the job done)
Merkur Progress (arguably "the best of the best")
Muhle R89 (a little mild, so it may require a shim or two)

If you do want an adjustable i would definitely recommend Rex Ambassador

I'm not really stuck on adjustables. With my Gillette adjustables I usually just keep them on '7'

Charcoal Goods level 3 is an excellent efficient razor that looks awesome too

Tom ... do you like blade feel, or not?

How much money do you wish to spend?

I don't mind some blade feel.

I don't mind coming up with a little extra money for a good cause.

Yikes. You could be correct, and I love your answer Juno

If I were you ... I’d buy a Blackland Blackbird SB and never desire another razor again. .02

Funny you should mention the Blackbird SB. I ordered mine and am really looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.

Ride it steep with a sharp blade, and your jaw will drop.

Great suggestions above!

But I also fear that none may be better for you than what you have now. The only way to answer this question is to try!

I ride the OC steep and get a great result. Be interesting to feel the differences between the OC and the SB.
