Interesting part about razors being not fun due to being too comfortable/mindless/autopilot. I’d disagree to a certain part: all the razors you’ve listed need some amount of skill to use them. Plus the vintage razors like the Schick or Gillette Techs automatically have a bit more mojo/soul/whatever buzzwords you fancy due to being vintage items.

A totally boring and soulless razor would be something like the Henson razor, various Leaf razors and of course gimmick systems like the Headblades to me. Overhyped marketing, lots of fancy language around them, almost too easy to use.
