Your best adjustable...or adjustables. Pics or not, your choice....

[Sausage]

The story of adjustables...Originally I had Merkur Futur and Progress ( did not like Progress handle..to slippery). I sold them and bought the chinese Futur clone. First one had bad blade alignment so I ordered another one. It was better but not quite as good as the real Futur. So after that I have ordered real Futur and Parker Variant also. My favourite adjustable is Futur.

I've only got one adjustable, a 1961 G1 Fatboy. I've only had it a few weeks and have only used it on 1 and 2. Excellent shaves with a Feather blade for my medium beard.

Time to get this thread going again!

Rex ~ Ambassador, a very well made adjustable razor and one that I'm enjoying very much at the moment.

Merkur Progress.

Gibbs with my Brass Handle

Tough call but slight edge to the (51'patent) Mikron and Famex over the various Gibbs.

Gentlemen, is there any of you with a profound knowledge of vintage Gillettes? I'd need an expertise on a Toggle I was offered.

In order of preference.
Parker Variant
Rockwell 6c
Futur clone

I have a couple of Gillette Slim adjustables, though for some reason no matter what I try, blades, settings, soap, angle, I can NEVER get a close comfortable shave with them. I keep going back to them because I want to like them, but they just don't do it for me.
The Parker Variant is a much better shaver imo.
And a Rockwell 6C. Great all rounder.
(Sorry no pics as I'm away at sea).

Have you tried a FatBoy? I too, did not get on with the slims, but the Fatboy is superb...
