After using all the classic razors (Muehle, Merkur, EJ, etc.) years ago, I've landed on the Rockwell 6S and Tatara Nodachi (sometimes with Masamune baseplate) as the only razors I currently rotate.
I was gifted a Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip some years ago and never used it, last week I decided to give it a chance. While much milder than my Rockwell (plates 5/6) or Nodachi, it gave me a strangely comfortable 3-pass shave. Even without any prep, my face seems to like this head geometry.
While I do respect vintage razors, I'd like to find a modern option with:
- Similar head geometry
- Same type of angular, safety bar
- Stainless steel
- 3-piece razor instead of TTO
The Wolfman WR2 and Homelike Start razors seem to meet the above requirements. Are there any (other) modern razors out here that have been inspired by vintage Gillette razors?
I'm ready to get enabled, thanks!
