Vintage!!! There are no new razors, they still use the same blades that are 100 years old, still hold them with a top cap and a bottom plate, and they're still categorized as "Gillette type". Nothing beats vintage.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
It's like the blues, the best stuff comes from dead guys.

Living on the edge
While I have used and owned over 25 different vintage gillette razors and there were 2-3 outstanding ones
I handled, I believe the modern crop of artisans have pushed the art of razor design and manufacture to levels that
far exceed the vintage crop. This is in no small measure due to not just ingenuity but also machines, materials
and techniques available.
Contentious topic though. There will be proponents of both schools.
