What's new

Your current TOP 5 DE's?

Well I don't have a den but in the forty years I have been shaving with a DE I have only used three razors .
I still own them.
The best one is my latest gift from my wife that she bought for me last Christmas a Fatip picolo.
The second best is the Merkur 34c I bought in Berlin in 2000 when I forgot to bring my ,now,third best:the Fatboy my dad passed to me when I started shaving in 1980.
 
In no particular order:

Timeless .38 SB Bronze
Timeless .68 SB SS
Timeless .95SB SS
Muhle R 89
Gillette Super Adjustable 109

Awaiting delivery of a Timeless Aluminum, am sure it will be on the list!
 
In order of how irritating it would be to have to replace them immediately.

First gen Charcoal Goods level 2 stainless
Second gen Charcoal Goods level 2 stainless
Karve C SB stainless
Karve C OC stainless
Timeless .95 SB matte stainless

Now, if I could only find a Wolfman WR2 .95 or 1.05 SB stainless head in the new brushed (basic/matte) finish!
 
My top 5 had changed a lot over time, but currently it's:

1. Charcoal Goods Level 3 SB
2. Timeless 95 SS SB
3. ATT Windsor MMH1
4. Karve E SB
5. RR Game Changer 84 SB

Is it a Ohio thing?
Are you from Ohio ? :)
 
Update:

1. Edwin Jagger 3one6 on Mühle Rocca Birch Handle
2. ATT Windsor Cap/Calypso R1 Plate on EJ 3one6 Blue Handle
3. Feather AS-D2
4. Timeless Ti.68 Scalloped
5. Razorock Gamechanger on TiBam Titanium Handle

Only have four:

- Timeless Ti .68 SB Scalloped
- Feather ASD2
- ATT SS/Calypso Hybrid R1 on TiBam Titanium Handle
- PAA DOC Ascension on Braveheart Handle (Executive Shaving)
 
A few first ones are in order of today’s preference, this order may and does change. ATT while being simple and utilitarian (I like it) are a bit harsher than ether Raw or Timeless.

1. Raw RS10 Mild
2. Timeless OC .68 SS Polished
3. Timeless SC .95 SS Polished
4. ATT M2
5. ATT R1
 
Charcoal goods level 2 ss
Rr gamechanger sb with titanium handle
Karve oc B plate brass (awaiting stainless)
Blackland blackbird
Gillette red tip & fatboy
 
In no particular order:

GC .84
Karve SS
Rex Ambassador
Gillette New SC
Gillette Super 84

I am revising my list..I hope that’s allowed. I really, really wanted to the like the Rex, as it is such a cool, beautifully built razor. Unfortunately, I just could not get a comfortable shave with it, even on the lower numbers. Too much blade feel for my taste, I think. So, I moved it on and replaced it with a Timeless SS .95SB. Wow! Now that’s a smooth shaving razor, and very efficient. Without further ado, here are my revised top five, which I feel very good about:

Gillette Super 84 (No particular order for this list, but the Black Beauty on 5 truly produces my smoothest and closest shaves....love this thing!)
GC .84
Karve SS
Timeless SS .95SB
Gillette New SC
 
Charcoal goods level 2 ss
Rr gamechanger sb with titanium handle
Karve oc B plate brass (awaiting stainless)
Blackland blackbird
Gillette red tip & fatboy

I think we have to throw the flag on your fifth entry here. The Red Tip SS and Fatboy are two totally different razors with different shaving characteristics.
 
In no particular order
Timeless Ti.95 Oc
Timeless Ti.95 Sb
Blackland Blackbird SB
Karve Stainless Steel B, C, D
Gamechanger .84 SB&Oc and .68 on Atlas handle
