Favorite DE safety razor of all time?

[Lockback]

Agreed.
I have five vintage Super Speeds with another on the way. They're simply amazing razors.

Here's an updated pic:

Clockwise from the top: 1940's Gillette Super Speed, 1952 Super Speed, 1953 Super Speed, 1955 Super Speed Blue Tip, 1957 Super Speed Regular Flare Tip, 1960 Super Speed Regular Flare Tip.

If I have to pick one, I guess my Chiseled Face Legacy Ti.

Smooth, very efficient, fun to use.

Out of my top 5 would have to pick... Homelike Start, it gives consistent results, smooth, efficient and gentle on the skin. The only alum block feedback being the sensation of feeling like an ice cube.

The favorite as in just one?

You're forcing a choice between my vintage Gillettes, Blackbird, Wolfmans, etc?

Too easy...
Lupo 95 with 85mm Windrose Ti handle.

Love the custom baseplate! Has ATT Windsor look, pure class.
The Lupo is a top performer (have a .72)

Hi, do uou still think the Design94 it the best mild razor?


Do you still think the design94 razor is the better one ?

What titanium color is it pls ? Is it the spaCe color coating?

Hi friend, I got it in regular titanium and short handle. But I know they are making a New SS version with a resin handle, I might be more interested in that one 80g

RR Lupo 95 OC with a modified Titanium Halo handle is my grail razor:

I personally prefer milder razors with sharp blades (Feather or Kai), and will recommend the following without reservation:

1) Weber DLC ( my go to razor), not sure if it is readily available on the market, my other favorites below are available -
2) Pils 101
3) OneBlade Genesis
4) Feather AS-D2

It took awhile to find my preferences, I was very fortunate to buy direct the Weber before production ended, all my recommendations are the result of comments from the far more experienced Badger & Blade members who I greatly appreciate.

Is the Pils mild? I thought it was quite an aggressive razor given the way the blade is held. How does it compare to the AS-D2?

All time favorite…

When in a hurry: Henson AL13 Mild
ATG: Karve Overlander
Under the nose: Razorock GC .68
For smoothness: Rockwell 6
For smoothness + efficiency: Chiseled Face a Legacy Ti

Henson might be my favorite due to how intuitive and safe it feels to use. Almost feels like I can't cut myself with it
