Do you use Gillettes or Merkurs exclusively, or both?

Exclusive Razor Use, or many

  • I only use Vintage Gillettes

  • I only use Merkurs

  • I only use SE's (Gem, Pal)

  • I only use Injectors

  • I use a combination of the above, variety is the spice of life!

Was just curious, do most people use Gillettes or Merkurs exclusively, or both? What about Injectors or SE's?

While I don't currently own razors from all of the categories in the poll, I do enjoy experimenting with different razors and I hope to eventually own one model of every razor ever made.

Why not?
 
Most of my shaves are with the DE and I have both Merkurs and Gillettes but it are the Mühles and the Lords that get most action.

I only use DE razors from the German brand "Merkur".
I currently own the following shavers:

HD #34c;
HD "Barber Pole" #38c;
1904 #42 (shipped yesterday from Westcoastshaving.com, so not arrived yet).
 
I've been wet shaving for nigh on two years now and have only ever used one DE - my Merkur HD. I am looking to buy a slant though as I feel I'm ready for a change.
 
I'm addicted to SEs. I had a Parker 82R with IP Reds, but I had such a better shaving experience with a Gem Featherweight, I haven't gone back to DE yet. I might, at some point, but not anytime soon.
 
I started wet shaving a couple of months ago. I have a Merkur 34 razor because it was suggested for newbies (here and in some utube videos).

I believe that I wont buy another razor, at least not until I obtain first some skill and experience with the existing one.
 
I like rotating every couple of shaves with
Gillette Super Speed
Merkur 34G
Gillette Tech
EJ Chatsworth Barley

I also have others which do not see regular use.
 
I like my Jaggers a great deal and just got the injector. My tiny collection.

Gillette Slim
EJ DE87
EJ DE89L
Merkur HD
Schick Injector I2

I own a Merkur HD, Merkur 39C Sledgehammer Slant and a Gillette SuperSpeed. Since I received my Slant in the mail back in November I have used it exclusively. I doubt that will last but so far I have not had the itch to go back to the others.
