Very nice! What is the top one? I've seen it before but it's identity escapes me at the moment.

It's a Goodfella.
I'm looking forward to hear how you (OP) like these as well!
I think the Goodfella is a beautiful razor. Please let us know how it shaves.
Fun!
Awesome razors. I personally haven't used a single one.
goodfella
Bravo! Great acquisitions.
That Goodfella is a great razor, very nicely balanced, your going to like that i think.
Good on the rest too.

The truth is, I had no idea about the goodfella, the 43C, or the Bakelite until 2 days ago.
I became complacent just using the same 38R Sledgehammer every single day. For some odd reason, the RAD bug bit me, and I found some new gear I HAD to try. Plus, I've always wanted the 1904.

The 43C is a great shaver and the Bakelite is a fun razor to have and I bet you'll love it. Congrats on your lil buying rampage, we all owe it to ourselves now and again.
Congrats and Enjoy...We expect a full report, reviews and pics...

The three Merkurs are in my office right now.
The Bakelite is lighter than I could have imagined.
The 43C Stainless is staggeringly heavy. It is considerably heavier than the 38C to which I am so accustomed.
The 1904 looks different. I'm wondering if there's nickel or something in the plating. It is shinier, and less gray. Heavier than I expected too.
I'll start shaving with one of them tomorrow. Probably the bakelite.

Partial quick, initial review:
Bakelite: I don't know if I am going to be able to do this. I felt like I was trying to hit a fastball with an imaginary bouquet of flowers. I couldn't tell if I was cutting anything or slashing at my skin. The feel is very similar to a disposable. I did about 1/3 of a pass, and couldn't do any more.
43C stainless: HOLY MOLY! This thing shaves itself. The angle felt right. The heft felt right. It's like gravity did the work. I'm excited about this one. I wouldn't be surprised if this became my "goto" razor.
1904: ****Tomorrow****
Goodfella: ****In Transit****
