What's new in higher end razors?

i have and use mainly vintage british gillettes. but i also like and have the stainless razorock mamba. mild razor available only used at present but a larger gap head /handle is available at present time..i hear the game changer is a nice mild efficient razor as well. all under $100 .i also like the karve razors ,on my list for future purchases..there is also a stainless toggle out soon. janus razors.. very cool but pricey..

 

If you want to try a newer mild razor before buying the purdy expensive metal version of it try the Feather Popular razor. You can get them for $20 or less and if you like it you can upgrade to the metal Feather AS-D2 afterwards. Only thing about the Popular is it may be so mild it may not be a good shave with anything except for a Feather blade. I have one I never use anymore. If you want the Popular pm me and you can keep it including the case and Feather blades that came with the razor.

 

Ask @PLANofMAN he's the expert.

I used a Futur exclusively for many years. It's a terrific razor. I've since been using fixed-head DE's and single edge razors (AC style). The Muhle Rocca R96 and the Blackland Dart are two excellent razors. Of the two, I prefer the Rocca. For less money, there are a couple of RazorRock razors that are excellent build quality (SS) that provide great shaves: the Mamba and the Game Changer.

Lots of choices! Happy hunting.

 

I'd put said amount into a saving bond, or buy stock. I have more than enough high-end razors that don't shave as good as my $60 stainless steel razor from RazoRock. Save your money, you'll thank me later.

Just remember blade gap is only one part of aggressiveness, and I would rate it at the lower end of the importance scale. The Timeless Bronze OC is much more aggressive than the Futur IMO, but the gap is quite a bit less.

 

Since they are basically remakes of the vintage razors I would hazard to say not much is new.
