    My LORD tech clone is a personal favorite. Nothing fancy, a little on the light side, but very consistent. Perfect for mornings when I'm less than awake.

    Does everyone use both modern and vintage?

    I do! Mostly vintage, but some modern razors are great too!

    Is that Gillette New LC just in virtually NOS condition or did somebody re-plate it for you? And if so, who? Because it looks absolutely sensational...

    How big of a difference is the 13' R41 over the 11'? I know they're both really aggressive

    The 2011 is more aggressive. I find the difference large enough that I even bought a back up. I also took up straight razors just in case both razors fall to the zamac curse.

    Of the razors available for anyone, Mühle R41 and Merkur 15C are my absolute favorites.

    I am having another option I am considering once the Zamak will begin to fail: Making a long lasting R41 myself.

    I have begun creating a 3D model of R41 with some minor modification I want: The geometry, when looking from the side, will be unmodified. The screw will come up at a slight angle to make it like a tilted head slant. The teeth in the comb will not have the bar above, it will be a true open comb.

    There are several companies on the net who will 3D-print it in stainless steel, once I have the model ready.

    Now, all I would need is some time to finish the project ... :angry032:

    I can get near BBS from two passes on the 11' where it takes three passes and a touch-up from the 13'.

    For my face, Blackland Blackbird in modern. In vintage, it depends on the day - Gillette Adjustable, NEW LC or SC. Asking me to pick one is like asking me to pick only 1 of my sons to keep. Impossible. I get near BBS daily with all of these razors.

    As pictured with a RazoRock Bamboo handle, this Stainless Steel handle for $12 is a steal.

    I have never used a r41. I guess I need to "get on that."

    Gillette NEW SC(ca. 1932-1940) hands down. Once I'm done with my current Focus shave, the next one will be to figure out the right blade/razor combination for it.
