    I am strictly searching for the best LOOKING safety razor. What is it?
    If it works great, so much the better...but I am curious about looks primarily.

    Pics would be great.

    Highly subjective of course, but I'm tempted to say a Wolfman razor with his Darwin inspired handle;

    closely followed by the Timeless Razor w/ this handle (here in its stand);

    Honorary mentions to the Merkur Vision 2000 that has a very different design but still one that I find visually very appealing;

    I'd like it even if it wasn't an awesome shaver, just because it looks so cool.

    Yup, good nomination - those sleek lines makes the CC a very, very sexy razor...

    I am still waiting for mine to arrive (hence no picture yet), but I also really like the look of the Blackbird with the OC. I have to agree with Darkbulb, that those Wolfman Darwin handles are beautiful as well Timeless OC with the grooved head and pineapple handle. Overall, if I had to pick one, I think the Timeless is the best. looking.

    I am with Bob. I have many of the razors mentioned here and the CC is the coolest and most original razor.

    I dont have one, they dont use regular blades. But they look cool.

    From a DE vintage stand point the venerable Old Types the ones that started it all. Still very elegant after all these years.

    There are so many to choose from. I like the bulldog in the past above as my choice for vintage. For modern, I would have to say either the BBS1 or the titanium Wolfman OC with the wrh2 handle.

    I've never thought about it. A razor is a tool I use every morning and as long as it works I'm good.

    It may look pedestrian with all of the nicely machined offerings available today, but I was always fond of the Old Type Aristocrat.

    Nothing ages better than a silver Double/Single Ring/Old Type.
