Baby Smooth - Stainless version (exactly the same, non-aggro head pls)

Rockwell 6s - Prettier version. Maybe machined? One heck of a shaver this one, I would love a an improved, shiney or brushed version, maybe with a slimmer head profile so it's easier under the nose.

Rockwell 6s. To use the EXACT same threading as most ever other contemporary. I never imagined I'd spend $100 on a razor, so the thought of "we looked into it. it's close enough that we feel it is compatible" is not appetizing. They made so many great choices with that razor, but I feel they bungled the thread call. To be different? To be true red, white, and blue and use SAE threading? I bet if they offered the option between what they have now and the same threading Wolfman, Atlas, Maggards, Triad, Hempel, etc etc, many would opt for the accepted modern threading. It's one thing to gamble with a Gillette New head you picked up for $5 on eBay with a MR5 handle, but it is quite another to be playing that game with a $100 tool.

I know, right? What's up with that weird threading.
