[QUOTE="DWSmith, post: 578593, member: 5102"] My favorite safety razors are my Gillettes. I have my grandfather's 3-piece Gillette and a couple more of them. My father had it before me. The gold 'wash' was worn off so I sent it off to be nickel plated. It's beautiful! The guy that plated it said it was in excellent condition. My Merkur is my least favorite razor. The machining on it leaves a LOT to be desired. Really rough and sloppy. Can't figure out what all of the hype is over Merkur razors. I still have my adjustable Gillette razor from 50 years ago and my father's adjustable Gillette razor. Gillette shouldn't have wasted their time with that design. I occasionally look for the 3-piece razors at the flea/thrift markets. Get one for maybe $3 to $5. Scrub it up and put it in disinfectant solution for a while. Got a couple of good ones that way.
