Denali

Besides Yaqi, Pearl, Rex there was another brand that made a modern take on Gibbs adjustables: Denali. An edition of 100 pieces, it was hard to get in Europe, until it was found in an Italian webshop. Bought it, and then it was out of stock, so I was just in time.
Very well finished and produced, whis razor looks and feels great. No fabrication marks whatsoever, until you disassemble the razor completely: the bottom of the adjusting bridge has not been polished, however this is something you won't see during use. Purely from look and feel I like it better than the Rex Ambassador, will have to find out how it shaves however.

I also had a Denali and sold it - for me it had very clear drag on the skin even as nice as it is. I also had a Wolfman which quickly went too. For me, too, modern razors have less appeal.

Now I have a Rex Konsul as my only modern razor and I like that better. Love the design and it is very mild on low settings which is right up my preferred shaving alley. So for now it stays, even if (apparently) it is a general trait for me that modern stainless razors are draggy on my skin - quite the opposite to wonderful old nickel plated Gillettes. Morning Tech shave coming up - YEAH :D

I've tried many modern razors like Wolfman, CG, Smart Helix, Seygus, H&S, Paradigm, Tatara, Carbon,Rocnel and many more. but the only two modern razors I considered seriously to keep were SE razors, Cobra Classic and Paradigm SE. No modern DE razors appealed to me.
