What's new

Anyone turning over most of their shaves to one particular razor?

I am on a quest of experimentation and elimination, trying a variety of products with the purpose of finding out what I like and can stick with.

Got 6 razors and the Fat Boy and DE89 are getting more face time than the others by far.
 
I tried a handful of razors, then acquired my 1934 Gillette Aristocrat. It's now my only razor and I have no plans to purchase another.
 
I bought a merkur slant 3 weeks ago and have shaved with it everyday since. I have a de89, fatboy, slim, 23c and a r41. The slant just works best for me.
 
Sure. I have about 12 blue tips, but just one that I use daily. Once in a great while, I'll break out one of my Techs, or my Feather Popular, but generally, it's that one blue tip that gets all theuse.
 
I use my EJ DE87 about 90% of the time, my Slim the other 10%. I don't plan on buying another razor (unless something breaks).
 
99% of my shaves are with my Wacker Gadsden. When I go on the road, I'll take my Revisor or one of my Dovos as a backup.
 
I'm going to rotate a Tech, 40s uperspeed, a New Long comb, an Old Type from the 1920s, a black handle SS, a Schick injector Type G, and a Gem open comb Micromatic on a weekly basis for a few months and see.

I think I'll end up using the 40s style superspeed as my main shaver and the injector for when I'm in a big rush, but we shall see.
 
Merkur 34G gets all the attention. Merkur 37C has never seen the light of day. I've an Ever-Ready SE, never used. A Gillette Fat Handle Tech, never used. And a Gold Merkur Futur in the post. I need to start a rotation. I think I've been at this 3 months and thus far only used my 34G and a red tip SuperSpeed which I subsequently sold, though it did give me my first DFS.
Shave count-
Merkur 34G: ~45 (10 Astra SP, 6 Shark SC, 2 Permasharp)
Red Tip SS: 5 (IOTW w/ Astra SP)
Merkur 37C: 0
Merkur Futur G: 0
Gillette Tech: 0
Ever Ready SE: 0
Rolls Razor Viscount: 0
 
Since picking up a Futur on the B/S/T recently, it hasn't missed a day. I have a 33C, 37C HD Slant & R41. The Futur is sooo choice :)
 
I run exclusively with the big Merkur 38C. I love the way it feels in hand, and it gives me great shaves.
However, when I travel, I'll take the razor on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, the relatively tiny 1966 Gillette Travel Tech.
 
Lately I'm using in this ratio:
cobra classic 40%
R41 ATT H plate 22.5% each
ATT R plate 15%
When I travel it's my 39C Merkur slant.
Te cobra is my latest addition so maybe that's its getting more love.
 
I was given a 1940`s Rocket a couple of months ago, and am using it 80% of the time. If it had just a bit more aggressive knurling, it would be the perfect razor for me.
