If you could only own one DE safety razor....

[Bob Vdr]

It's pretty neat when you find out that other folks come up with the same answers as you, and for the same, or similar reasons!! I love all my Gillettes (I guess I have about 25 or 30), and while the Slim would probably be my #2 choice, there's no topping the '46/47 Aristocrat!

Amen!

Same here - Parker Variant, this is the first razor I'm considering purchasing at least a 2nd just to have in storage.

-Stephen

That is a great idea. I might have to add the black handled version!

 

[Bootsy]

ONLY ONE!!! WHY???

As long as I could keep my SEs, I suppose I could manage with just one.
And the winner is....


..... the Eclipse Red Ring, very smooth and very efficient. But I'd really miss the others, especially the Single Ring and the Souplex Double Six Minor.

I cannot believe no one posted this already. My favorite all time DE is the Mergress XL. By far, the most comfortable and closest shaving razor I've ever used. Very Highly recommended.

Parker Variant

+1. Better made and less expensive than Merkur Progress. Adjustable. Readily available.

Feather AS-D2

I love the ultra forgiving nature of the AS-D2.

 

[ED3054]

Rockwell 6s. As of right now.

Fatip Piccolo. It gives a smooth and close shave, BBS every shave.

 

[User 306]

From a shaving standpoint it would have to be my Timeless .95 dual plate razor.

For sentimental reasons for sure it would be my Fatty!

RazoRock Wunderbar with the stainless steel handle; efficient, smooth, comfortable to drive; best I've found so far.

 

[ScottChapin]

...which would it be?

....and why?

Don't give a 2nd and 3rd choice. I'm interested in what the more experienced members of the community would choose.

I'm far too early in my wet shaving journey to possibly make any decision.

I think limiting the answer to just one is eliminating toss ups that are very worthy. A very oft mentioned second might actually be the best.

I'll say Merkur Futur in a Satin finish. I prefer long handles, heft, and adjustability.

Jagger 89 head + bulldog stainless handle.

 

[Mlee]

Get outta my head!!! Yes! Bulldog... loaded with a Feather... with the handle backed off a quarter turn! Shaving bliss!

And I thought I was the only one that liked Bulldogs.

I see you have an Officers Military set also.

 

[Lukehalee]

Timeless 68, scalloped.

+1

 

[Pedict]

Fatboy adjustable

 

[ddillas]

Feather AS-D2... I like the Weber better but the AS-D2 is so mild and efficient that if I could only have one razor it has to be the Feather.

My G1 Fat boy. It has the weight and aesthetics of a Bull Dog or 34C HD, The durability of a stainless steel razor and the adjustability to make it suitable for any amount of beard growth. The apex of Gillete's safety razor designs.

My Gillette New long comb. Incredibly smooth shave with it every time. It's certainly not my most beautiful razor (it's old and losing plating) but it's probably the best I have used. It's efficient without being harsh.

 

[dionesius3]

I don't see how anyone could possibly use just one razor! the very idea of limiting oneself like that is beyond me.
If I am forced to use only one razor I would pick The Four Piece English Flat Bottom Tech but I would not be happy as I am now with 10 razors awaiting their turn in the daily shave routine.

 

[MaineYooper]

My Slim. I enjoy using other razors, but the Slim is the best for me!
