Phil (of BullGoose) made the Evolution as a modern recreation of the original pre-war Darwin. I find it to be a lovely little shaver, if a bit on the aggressive side of things.

New week means next razor in my rotation.
There is a 20010 paper debunking it, as I wrote about a few years ago.
Arguable Gillette are closer to a razor and blade model now than they ever was making proper safety razors.
Late to the game (just had my father in law visit for three weeks, so...) but if you want my take;
Injectors are fun. You can only get a couple of different blades (Schick, twin Schick, and Personna) for them, but the injectors I own (five, so far) definitely have earned their keep in my rotation.
Compared to other razors, injectors are - in my experience - more consistent between models. A Type E shaves much like a Type G etc. Other razors - especially double edged razors, have a much greater variety both in the razors and the blades (and feathers are not the best of the bunch, in my not at all humble opinion).
So if you want to experiment, branch out into double edged. Pick up a vintage Gillette Old or Tech, and go from there :)
Razor: Autostrop VC2 Blade: Feather FHS-10 Brush: Vie-Long #14033 Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream Lather: Asylum Shave Works Frankincense & Myrrh Aftershave: Asylum Shave Works Frankincense & Myrrh Additional Care: Alum Block
It is seventy-nine years since the end of the War in the European Theatre, and I had a wonderful Wednesday shave.
Still waffling on the strop yes. But I'm not sure how that would affect the razor, especially as I started with a fresh blade.
Another week and another shave. The blade still keeps up, although I can tell it is not quite as smooth.
