Geaux, you from Louisiana? I’m from Lake Charles and graduated from LSU in 87 and 91.
If you could only own one DE safety razor....

Slim
Rockwell 6S. I own a Merkur 37G, Muhle R89-R41.
I can adjust the Rockwell to suit my needs of the day so its my choice by a long shot.

Well, the answer to this question changes over time as I keep hoarding... Today, I would definitely say my Flare Tip Rocket. Awesome shaves, just like I want them: Very close but no weepers or cuts. Ever. And this is one very well built razor. I haven’t seen TTO’s (my favorite type) better built than Rockets.
...But honestly, I feel about razors like I feel about music. The whole concept of just owning one (razor or piece of music) would be very sad
Favorite piece of music right now: Steve Earle: Oxycontin Blues. Heard it in a Swedish made program on TV and immediately got the album. Being a Dane I have to say that Swedes have awesome taste in music, often with lots of americana in there. And they make great TV also.

Gillette Fatboy. (hey it was my grandfathers AND its adjustable! 
)
)
Fatip Grande. My first shave with it made me say wow out loud. It was so smooth and close.
For me, it's a toss up between the Gillette Slim and Aristocrat Junior. If pushed, I would probably go for the Aristocrat Junior.
Funny thing, love the Timeless and it is a better shaver at a better price BUT my favourite hands down is the Wolfman made LASSC BBS-1. John got this thing perfect such that the more you use it the more you love it.
If I can only have one, I’d have to go with an adjustable, a Mergress.
RazoRock Mamba SS. It'll last me forever and it's an amazing razor.
Wolfman.67 OC on WRH1 handle
Castilla open comb roller guard from Argentina. Love the design, love the shave.
This is one of my very favorite threads on B & B!
Rockwell 6S. Beats ever other razor I've tried for smoothness and closeness.
I posted my answer about 3 months ago, and I believe it was a Bulldog. Even though I have acquired some new razors since, including a Double Ring, several Single Rings, a New De Luxe, a Barbasol FH, and a couple of Lather Catchers, the Bulldog is still my favorite all time razor. But, I was thinking, if this is going to be the only razor that I will have for the rest of my life, I may need to rethink my choice. Even though, in my opinion, the Gillette Bulldog is one of the greatest razors ever made, it has its limitations. As I get older and my beard changes, I may want my razor to change also. So after some consideration, my new choice will be, again in my opinion, the greatest Adjustable razor ever made, the Gillette Toggle.
Based on the shaves I got this week I could easily say my Blue Tip Super Speed. Of course if I used it for two weeks in a row I'd get bored with it and want to use something else.
The first 35 plus years of shaving the only razor i owned, and still have, is a Trac II. Since Christmas of 2014 every shave has been with a Razorock SLAB, have no reason or need to change from that. Maybe curiosity will bite again in another 35 years.
