  Thank you! (on the photo)

  I like to support the artisans. I can’t imagine that there’s much of a market for new artist club razors. I have a Vector also and like that. While the design of the Vector is clever, the squared off mounting screw is just asking to have threads stripped, and there’s nowhere for lather to accumulate. The WR4 is more conventional. It has good edge feel and enough gap so that I can control the angle.

    the design of the Vector is too clever

    Fixed that for you😉

    The squared-of screws on the AC and GEM blacklands are pretty much why I have no interest in any blackland razors. I like pretty, but form over function drives me nuts

      Then there is the practicality of lather management. There’s really nothing to catch lather on a Vector. I have to rinse too frequently (or become less particular about mess).

        A difficult choice!
