One razor one blade for ever

[euro]

What if you could ONLY use one razor and oneblade forever. Which razor and blade would you pick?

I would pick the FaTip Piccolo and I would choose the Feather blades. IMHO the best combo I ever used.

 

[DEgeezer]

Nacet

 

[Beto Salatini]

Greencult 2.0 and Gillete Silver Blue.

 

[yellcohawg58]

Leaf twig and Astra SP. It's what I use about 90% of the time now.

 

[StubbleTrouble]

Also the Fatip Piccolo, retrofitted, but with Persona med prep blades (of which I have more or less a lifetime supply!!!).

 

[Ckmaui]

kinda my goal just find my truly favorite of favs and use those
so far my Timeless Ti .68 SB
but might try a Woflman Ti .85/1.05 based on my experience with the .95 and 1.15 I had
also kinda want to try a Ti Adjustable Tatara and will be one of those I reckon

blades got it down to about 4 that are tops and mainly using the GSB, Nacet, Green 7, Treet Dura Sharp
will keep playing narrow down when I narrow down the razor

I truly want just one blade and one razor that works the best

 

[Brian H Shaves]

Henson Ti22 and Astra SP (Russian)

Back in 2960’s I had a Gillette Super Speed it was USMC ISSUED, I use Gillette Blue Blades.

There were a few other brands of blades available. But the BLUES were cheap, they worked.

Think that was my kit for about 20 years. My Brush cost about $3.00, Soap was what was ever cheap.

At the time I was making maybe $100.00 a week, Rent was $75.00 a month, Car Payment was about $30.00 a month, Gas was cheap at under 20 cents a gallon, and I ate well.

 

[Lockback]

Gillette Nacet for me.
Or Perma-Sharp.
Or Astra SP.
Or ...


Nah. Nacet.

 

[schizm]

For this moment Gillette Rocket HD 500 and gillette platinum/polsilver.

 

[Trollky]

Oooooh that's a tough question...

The Piccolo has hitherto been my desert island choice but lately I've been in the groove with the R89.

In terms of blade I'm not too fussed

 

[Hannah's Dad]

TiBird and Feather.

My favorite razor is the Karve Overlander. I generally shave every day for work, so while it isn't the best for multiple days of growth, for my use case it's perfect. I think there's no bad blade pairing for it, but if I could only use one blade it would be Kai. they are a tiny bit wider, and give the Overlander a bit more efficiency. Kai's are still very sharp but I perceive them to be smoother and more consistent than other sharp blades. The only downside is their cost.

 

[lasta]

Tech + GSB.

 

[Legion]

You guys are still going to have to cheat and change that one blade eventually.

 

[Mitzie]

Currently, Weidi (Baili) Adjustable and SuperMax super stainless DE Blade

 

[Iridian]

The whole idea sounds so wrong to me. Enjoying new razors, new blades, new handles... that's a lot of fun. And you can collect all that stuff and talk about it.

 

[The Blackadder]

Henson + Astra SP has been very consistent for me

What if you could ONLY use one razor and oneblade forever. Which razor and blade would you pick?

Easy! I did that for 20 years, and I'd have no problem doing that again.

The razor would be either a Game Changer 68 or Edwin Jagger DE3D14. At the moment, the Game Changer is in the bathroom, and the Jagger is in a drawer as back up.

The blades I used for 20 years were Wilkinson Sword. English made for about 10 years, then the German made ones. They're still my favourite blade, and the only reason I don't use them exclusively, is I only have about 70 of those, and about 500+ others, spread over 10 or so different types.
