Your favourite type of razor?

[ziplepingouin]

Hello guys,

I sent the other day an email to Mühle to see if they might build a slant razor in the future, and the answer was quite...straight: they do not plan to build a slant razor in the future. Not to say that I was a bit sad to read that, as they didn't even leave the possibility of maybe thinking to create one in the mail they sent me...
Anyway, I just wanted to know here what is your favourite type of razor, and why? Do you use different types in different occasions?
Maybe if they see some interest in slant razors they might reconsider?

I use all DE styles and also use SE, injectors, and straight razors

 

[Pitchar]

Thought a lot about slant vs R41 as my next razor. I picked the R41

Weber PH is my favorite, right now, so I voted straight bar.

I have 2 straight bar razors (EJ and Maggard) and 1 slant. Of the 3, the slant is becoming my go to/favorite razor. It works very well for me and I like the shave it gives me.

I need a "Pick Two" option for this one; haven't tried a Slant yet.

 

[Trailwalker]

Have yet to try a slant but definitely want to.

+1 at best I would have to say I'm conflicted.

Tried all three, I prefer open comb.

So far I've used the Muhle R89, the Parker A1R travel razor, and the Merkur 37C slant. I'm waiting on a FaTip Grande to try my hand at an OC. So far the R89 is the mildest and easiest to handle. The 37C is the most efficient. The A1R is an aggressive middle of the road. I use different ones for different beard growths, so no favorite yet. Can anyone comment on the difference in aggressiveness between the A1R and the Parker 92R butterfly?

Hi,

My Fasan slants are also OC......

Open combs just barely edge out slants for me.

That might not be the case when I get one of the new Razorock slants.

I have both and I think you made the right choice.

Cool stand for the japanese straight. Where can I get one of those??

 

[smithabrian]

Just started a week and a half ago with a straight (well pseudo straight - Parker SR1) and haven't felt inclined to go back to my Merkur DE even once.

 

[Musikmann]

I probably shouldn't have voted since all I have are 2 straight bars but that's why I voted as I did.

 

[Pepin]

I have all in my collection, but I prefer the open combs.

 

[Haegar]

I wouldn't want to miss one of them.

 

[BSAGuy]

Haven't tried a slant yet, but the new one from Italian Barber is on my list when they go into production.

My preference, in order are: Super Speeds, News, Gems, Olds.

The DX came with this stand. I kinda think the other models do no not.
