What's new

looking for something short fat and old

Needing some advice here.
I like the Merkur HD alot. I also like the older Superspeeds I have. Is there something HD-ish in an older razor that is not adjustable.
I like the weight and thicker handle of the HD but I like the nostalgic idea of using an older piece.
I also really suck at an open comb. I use Feathers and I am not patient with my routine.
Thanks

I wish Merkur had a barberpole from the 50's.....
 
Your best bet is probably a Gillette Rocket HD.

or a Red Tip SS.

Maybe even an Aristocrat/Diplomat/President.

Try picking up a vintage Merkur Progress. A member here picked one up on the Bay, I believe.

(In general I can only comment on something tall, slim and very young. :wink:)
 
Milton(Joel) made excellent suggections. The red tip SS can be had quickly and cheaply from Ebay. They are not as hefty as the Aristocrat or the HD Rocket. The Rocket will be the most expensive to find. If they in in excelent condition they'll go for around $100 on B&B, shavers with obvious signs of wear closer to $50. Or you could wait a bit and scour the bay to find one of those on the cheap as well. Happy hunting!
