Cost not in the equation? A timeless or a Hone. End of story
Hones are handsome! Second choice.

Carbon Shaving Co - any version will be a winner!
...Game Changer will give you a choice of plates and punches way above its price. Cost and performance are its key characteristics. It's a bit bland in the looks department...
I have a Game Changer head ( no handle) .68 straight bar and it is IMO the best for the money. If by chance not aggressive enough then they make the .84. It's like a stainless Gillette Tech w/ covered end tabs, but a bit less top cap curve that makes for under the schnozz shaving easier.
If you like a Tech you'll love it.
The Feather one seems to be very highly rated, and it's been around for a few years as well and it's popularity never seems to have waned irrespective of how crowded the marketplace seems.
i would go with the Feather AS-D2
like most things japanese the workmanship the thought process behind it is wonderful, not to mention the knurling it's first class. The weight of the head to me is perfect. just a high class piece of workmanship.
There's an argument to say that adjustable razors are adjustable because the manufacturer dosent know the best setting as every individual is different however Feather have crafted a piece of artistry that only needs one setting, Feather reckon they've got it right. No blade overhang another plus and the stand is oozing with quality,
What level of efficiency?
I think your rightThat is a very good point!
I've had a few adjustables and tended to just set the one 1. Same with different plates - as I said above, the razor works or it doesn't. The GIllette Tech worked perfectly for, well, everyone ... for decades.
Noted, fellows. Time to take a closer look at the Feather.
I think your right
some vintage razors got it right & everything else is just a copy
but the materials we have these days are of a higher quality.
... we are not cyborgs ...
