Did you find it? I ramble a lot so you can skip around to find what interests you.
Feel free to PM me if I can be of assistance. We’re in Bali at the moment so we’re 12 hours ahead of US Eastern time.
I wonder if I’ll have an absolute favorite in a year or two.
I guessed you would say the Above The Tie aluminum Windsor SB90 thingy.
I have pretty much settled on my ‘destination’ razor, polished WR1 SB which just works great for me!!

My exploding razor knows secrets
I have different "Favorite" for each project, and there is no one razor that rules them all.
But what is certain is that there is a razor that no matter whether I shave or not, even when I am sitting in the study and using computer... I can't help picking it up to appreciate and play with it, that is PILS 101NE.
It is gentle indeed, but at the same time every design does not bend to convention.
Like a dream girl with a soft voice but always mysterious and glamorous.

Think it was a Gillette Slim adjustable losded with Gillette Blue Blades.
Even if I had no special Shave soap it worked.

Like others have mentioned, it's a bit difficult to tell what's being asked for here.
If you'd just like my favorite, at the moment that is a very recently acquired pre-war fat handle Tech. Simply outstanding shaver that nearly everyone should be able to get at least a good, if not great, result from.
However, there were many 'faves' before that one and there will almost certainly be more to come.
OTOH, if you are looking for a recommendation then the above is close to irrelevant. We'd need to hear a lot more about your current gear, preferences, etc.

Beautiful razor, but I would expect nothing less from someone whose exploding razor knows secrets....
For me it's my Timeless Titanium. Depending on how long it's been between shaves I either use the .95 OC or the >95 SB plate and in both cases it's the best shave I can get.
Standard toggle if I had to choose one
And pretty much all other razors could work just fine.

I never figured out what I did to get this title added by B&B and what it meant.Beautiful razor, but I would expect nothing less from someone whose exploding razor knows secrets....
Hopefully nothing really blows up, now I always rinse long after shaving just to be safe.
I have far too many razors - I blame you lot!
The three I rotate most are the Merkur Futur, Muhle R41 and Henson medium. Out of those it would be hard for me to choose between the Future and Henson. Smooth, efficient shaves with either. The R41 is for when I want some excitement...

IDK if a razor can be an 'all time favorite', but I'm pretty happy with my new Lupo .95 SB and Game Changer GC 84-P. Not to sound morbid, but I'm 68, and AFAIK, these will be the last razors I use. So, I guess they're my all time favorites.

Beautiful razor that I haven't used in quite some time.
I have tried quite a few razors with this particular style of design oder the years, including the Pils, the iKon H2O, the iKon modern, the iKon S3S, the original iKon SBS, the re-imagined iKon SBS in aluminum alloy, and rhe original Tradere. I enjoyed all of them.
The Feather AS-D2 is my favorite, with the RazoRock Game Changer .68-P coming in a very close second place.
