I never thought I'd say this- BUT

If anyone here doesn't know I'm a huge fan of the 3 piece razors. My go to razors have always been my Gillette New Open Comb and pre-war Tech. I have a good collection of TTO razors but sadly they have just been collecting dust for a long time.But here lately I've been really enjoying one of my TTO (Super Speeds) Edit- it's an Aristocrat. I'm really getting a DFS even with just one pass from this razor 2 The DE force is strong within me now

 

I too love my NEW SC but I also can get a near or occasional BBS with one of my various Super Speeds, either the 40's or 50's version.

 

My two favorite open combs are my New OC and Bostonian (Canada) as they give me great shaves. I also get great ones from my TTO's with the right blades.

 

I have a '71 SA-109. With Voskhod blades it's a stubble killer of the first order. But my NEW SC is also. Great dilemma to have if you ask me.

 

My NEWs, both LC and SC, and Goodwill razors are among my favorites, but I do have a favorite TTO, my Sheraton OC.

 

I have given up on TTO razors, recently put away my '53 Super Speed, with no plans to revisit any time soon. My favorites are the OLD type, and the triangle slot Tech, with the Tech being the favorite at the moment. There's just too much head on a TTO, I have to work harder to effectively shave with it, it's too mild. The '53 supposedly has the same head as a Red Tip SS, but still too mild and inefficient to get the job done. The pre-war Tech is somehow silky smooth aggressive, whatever that means, you feel the blade, the whiskers go away, and your face is smooth and undamaged in any way.

But we all have different faces, if you've found what works for yours, stick with it!

 

Super Adjustable maybe? Just sayin'.

 

The Superspeeds do nothing for me. Same with the Rocket and Aristocrats; wasted on me.

 

Not a fan of adjustables, the collar on the handle bugs me.

 

I've always liked the 1940's style Gillette Super Speed. It has been my go to in a pinch razor for a couple of years now.

 

Funny, I want to like other razors, but I rarely stick with anything outside of the super speed family for long. Personal habits maybe suit one side or the other.

Since I learned to shave with a Gillette G2000 (1980s razor, very much cheapened down Superspeed, in a way) it is strange that I don't really like the Superspeed head profile. I highly prefer slender 3pc razor heads.

 

Sorry guys but I made a mistake. What I thought was a Super Speed is actually a 1940's Aristocrat. I missed the knurling at the twister. Mine runs vertical not horizontal.
