Adjustable Safety Razors

For many years I enjoyed the hobby of collecting mostly vintage razors and adding an occasional modern razor here and there along the way. I also have a soft spot for adjustable razors and had many of them in my collection which included the more commonly known Gillette Slim, Fatboy and the Toggle and a bunch of not so well known at the time adjustable’s like the Apollo Mikron and Ben Hur and closely related vintage Merkur Progress, Gibbs to name a few. Moving forward in time to the present I’ve only got one Toggle ( had 5 of them at one time ) a Fatboy and a Slim that’s my travel razor left. I will add that all my adjustable razors were in mint condition along with a few NITB ones. These days I have been trying to simplify my life so I’ve only kept razors I use and the same goes for DE razors as well. No modern adjustable’s currently as I’ve sold all of them once I got the Rocnel 2021 Sailor but sold that wanting to get the MC version. The only ones I have an interest in and would have had one of each in my den is the Denali and the Ti Taiga but missed out on both as I was to late to the party.

Jonathan enjoy your journey and I very much know the enthusiasm you are currently feeling about adding all kinds of razors to your den.

I realize this is posted in the Double Edge Razor section, but for the OP, there are single edge adjustables (a whole 'nuther rabbit hole!). Below are the v1 (left) and v2 (right) Parker adjustable injectors. Vintage-wise, Schick Type M is my favorite. The Parker is modelled after a different razor, the PAL maybe? Someone else may chime in and correct me!



The Schick Type M

I have 12 right now.  I gave away my Parker to a friend to get her started, but I'll probably pick up the V2 at some point.  There are a lot of others that I would love to have.  I generally use them fairly wide open, but I do like to adjust down a bit on my neck.

Wow that’s amazing.

I shall post a picture of my Adjustable collection soon. 

Beautiful and amazing collection.

Happy shaves,

I've got the following, in order of preference: 
Gillette Executive, Fatboy, toggle (cool factor), black beauty super 84, black beauty super 109, slim. 
Vintage Merkur progress (silver white wash), modern long handle progress. 
Got rid of the Rex Ambassador, didn't want to take the time to "figure out the angle", when I've got a hundred other razors that are effortless... for me. 

I always love pics, so here you go!  Last pic are the daily drivers, all are used occasionally, with the exception of the 109 still on the card. 

I haven't got a lot experience of adjustable.
Precisely with vintage razors.
But i own a Rocnel sailor 2020 and a taïga.
They are just incredible. Smooth and efficient.
Better manufacture on Rocnel , a piece of art for me , but for a reasonable budget , the taïga IS a winner.
For me, very near to the performance of m'y Rocnel.
* Open for a good advice on a vintage adjustable.
Thank you.
