I am looking for a precision DE razor. Normally I use plastic disposable Bic 1 Sensitive for touch up work but a DE razor with the same ease of keeping track of blade location but more sex appeal would be nice. Among the usual suspects I have only found the Merkur Mustasch & Eyebrow model but propriety blades no thx.
Would like DE for precision work

I use the ATT or an Ikon. The Ikon covers the side tabs as well and both allow for easy precision work. You can see the blade which is a great help and the heads are small enough to manoeuvre around the face. Otherwise a straight razor is the other preferred tool of choice.

For 'precision' razor work, you need look no further than the Fatip Piccolo. It has a very slim head, dead easy to place accurately, and also gives a dam fine shave...

How about a vintage Gillette Tech, fairly cheap, easy to place, slim head, gives a good shave and did I say fairly cheap 
Recently bought a Fatip OC in the nickel / gunmetal finish and it is as precise as you're likely to get without going the injector route I believe. Only word of caution I have to mention is that I've read about some quality concerns. My own razor is of excellent quality and finish and there's no problem with the accuracy and tolerances.

Took me a bit to comprehend what that was. If it's a bollock I've got no suggestions for ya. If it's a goatee I use a cheapo shavette. Works a treat.
For DE's I'd look for something with maximum blade exposure like a Fatip. Easier to see the blade. A cheapo shavette is the way to go though really, and a great way to use up those least liked blades in your stash. I bought a hundred BIC Chrome which I didn't get on with so I use em in the shavette.
