I need to have a minimum of 4 pure bakelite razors. One standard, one slanted, one adjustable standard and one adjustable slant. Any recommendations? @ehv @efsk

 

[ehv]

@Walid @efsk is the authority here. But look at the de index. Fasan has nice slants so has mulcuto. For the straight bar rotbart, matador, apollo or knockout. Adjustable maybe merkur progress or walbush, but they are rare and I guess costly.

 

[efsk]

Pure bakelite I'd say:
standard: Merkur 45.
slant: Walbusch B3, Fasan N°1 or Mulcuto.
adjustable standard: there are none in the regular adjustable sense that I know of, so you get to differential/reversible baseplate. Rogerit is what you're after.
adjustable slant: same as above, so you get angle-adjustable instead of gap-adjustable, possibly with differential cap. Mostly, at least the cap is metal with these, but check out Punktal.

Pardon my ignorance on the subject but a is a Walbusch B5 legit? What about Wardonia? any good?

 

[efsk]

Wardonia won't take regular blades, are however superb razors. Walbusch B5 is absolutely legit, basically a slanted Merkur Progress, is however not 100% bakelite. For both B3 and B5 check https://shavinguniverse.com/community/threads/walbusch-walter-busch-sohn.2234/

 

[Walid]

Damn. That's a fine thread.
