What is the best LOOKING safety razor?

Take your pick!

 

You read my mind...

 

The Cobra Classic is my choice as well.

 

Bright nickel NEW with bar handle, followed by an all-rhodium President.

 

I will throw my hat into the ring.
I really like the looks of the Delta echo razors DE and the charcoal goods DE.

 

Wow that's an awesome razor!!!

 

This list is incredible!

 

For sheer fat handled vintageness with an interesting guard bar, the Stahly.
It shaves well, too.

 

I'll take the closed comb, 3rd from the left. Stunning Mark. Absolutely stunning.

 

Thanks Kerry! You have a very good eye my friend. That one is polished titanium.

 

That's the Rolls Royce of safety RazoRs.

 

That's one razor that will never look dated.

 

Best looking 60s razor by a wide margin

 

Whats the price of some of these razors?

 

One of the Gillette Aristocrats. Your choice.

 

Too many razors on the market that look good, too many. Yesterday I received the Supply Provision 3 plates first shave and was very good. The razor is not even fully machined, its a mix of mold + machining and yet the razor looks so appealing. Don't get sucked into the looks department or you will lose your wallet big time.

 

You'd have to clarify "some" but for example the PAL Adjustable range is $15-$40 looking at completed ebay transactions.

 

or a Wolfman Titanium can go up to $500 bucks.... That's why I said there are many good looking modern and vintage razors that shave so good and look good and still are not too expensive like some others. He should not get suckered into spending lots of money chasing the looks

 

Fortune or chance. Most are available on ebay. My price has been spending time visiting antique and thrift stores, or obscure auction sites. "In the wild" finding someones long forgotten vintage razor yields crusty old razors that can be cleaned up. Sometime I get a stinker that's not usable, but in hand I can check the moveable bits. The rest is toothbrush and Dawn dish liquid scrubbing.

 

Indeed, I think that it had a major influence on later designs.
