The 39c killed my RAD. It's the only de I own now.
Looking at some of these though I could easily start buying them again.

KWC DoppelschrÃ¤g-variant. DDR. Remarkable shaver, better than I expected. Blade is really stuck on the topcap, won't move one bit, makes screwing the set together rather difficult.

A rarely seen beauty: the Speed, a/the Swedish diagonal. Quite hefty at 83 grams, partially goldplated, and a rather steep angle of the head. It's a two-pieve razor.

Ah so YOU'RE the one that bought it?
(If it's the one that sold with its box a month ago)...

Not an ebay purchase, that one.

Fine Superlite

Based on the Hobby, shown earlier in this thread, but with quite a few differences.

I found it to be very mild compared to others that I've tried. Nice and lightweight but not as efficient as I'd want it to be, the guard bars seem to be too big or protrude too far past the blade?

It's not as aggressive as Fasan's or Trumpfs, but not a bad shaver. The acoustic feedback is good, my only problem is I can't shave the throat area atg with this one. Just won't cut it.

I had trouble or seemed to have with angles on some passes?

That's where the acoustic feedback comes in. Louder is better with this razor, so slightly move the grip and your ears will tell you if you're good. Maybe that should not be necessary, but for me it was not a problem.

J. Liese, LÃ¼dinghausen. Silverplated, 67 gramms. This one is rather aggressive, other razors with the same head less so.

Replated Lutz slant.

I did have a few shaves with it and although I prefer aggressive razors, this is the one that is just way too aggressive for me.

It seems even more aggressive for me than r41!

How do you like the milder side, that too aggressive as well?

King Ferdinand · Sunday July 10, 2016

Well, I read somewhere that it has a milder + a more aggressive side but I didn't notice it in the blade gap.
Normally I use one side, then I swap to the other side, rinse with water and start again.
And truth to be said I didn't use it for quite a while...

I do use though my Merkur 37 every now and then and seems to me a tad easier to use than the Lutz.

That's why I posted it on Ebay though I would rather prefer to swap it with a different razor. Maybe a different slant.

If you look at the head you'll see that the sides are differently scalloped. One side more coarsely than the other. The coarser side is the more aggressive side.
