Good call, I do keep looking at it - but adjustable, mehhh!The Pearl Flexi is brass and a two piece, although an adjustable. Inexpensive too.
Ooh, vintage, there’s a thought. The single ring might be a bit advanced for me though (and OC!) is it a 2 piece though?The Gillette single ring are three-piece and brass ... beneath silver plate if you get an earlier one. Into the 1920s, you might well find an all brass one that doesn't need de-plating.
... but you want a new razor, don't you? Still, the seed is now planted
Yep, keep looking on the bay to find a nice one in the UK at a price that doesn’t make my eyes water- no luck so far!The vintage Schick Króna is my favourite TTO DE razor.
Good idea. It’s really just not zamac and not 3 piece I’m looking for, but I’ve not really considered the Leaf razors, will have a shufti at them. Mind you, the thought of breaking a blade in half with my tremors fills me with foreboding!If it does not have to be specifically a DE razor you are after then take a look at the Leaf Twig or Thorn.
Great loading mechanism, lightweight and takes half a DE blade.
Useful advice, thanks. All the 2 piece ones I have checked out seem to be OC's, (not keen), I have bid on one or two UK based Superspeeds and Rockets that were not too expensive and I keep checking the bay, but no luck yet. Don't fancy going down the GEM rabbit hole just yet and I don't really get Injectors!Gillette made some two piece razors.

They also made very nice TTO razors.
And then there's the GEM Micromatic family that are TTOs.
And don't forger the injector razors!
You can buy the blades already split in half pretty cheap, I think I paid £3 last time for a 100Good idea.

Sorry ... yes, I said "three-piece" but meant two-piece. Confirm: two-piece (with a key) - the baseplate is fixed to the handle.Ooh, vintage, there’s a thought. The single ring might be a bit advanced for me though (and OC!) is it a 2 piece though?
