The Razor Popularity Contest

I don't know about combining NEWs, to me the comb lengths do make a distinct difference, but the whole idea of this thread was to concentrate on older razors more likely to be tried (kept and used or not) than some modern brands that some of us never see. For myself, I've never tried a Merkur, EJ, Fatip, Muehle, etc...but if I am in the minority on that then I don't mind them being added.

As long as everyone is honorable and votes ONLY on razors they actually tried enough to have an honest opinion on, good or bad, I really don't care what's on the list.

 

I agree that there's a difference. But that said, Micromatics differ from one another pretty dramatically (clog pruf, open comb) and we group them in one class. No matter what decision we reach, though, this is a fun game.
