I have an Vintage Superspeed (One piece, twist to open), an Merkur HD (two piece) and a Muele R89 (three piece). The one piece has some marginal ease of use over the three piece; but I cannot see the advantages of the two piece - I find it more of a fiddle to replace the blade in the two piece over against the three piece. I have to guide the blade over the longer threaded shaft - it never falls into place as it does over the shorter shaft of the three piece. Am I alone? Am I missing something?
