Both older then me
Funny how many Razor in use today are old then owners.Maybe this were better back in olden days.🫠
Since this is hypothetical, I’d travel back in time to the age of 10 so I’d know what a BBS face felt like in a pre-teen.
My 1948 British tech. It delivers great consistent shaves.

The craftmanship is really good, and it just works.

The Razor I wish I had not let go of was my Gillette Slim I got in 1965.
Issued by Uncle Sam in Boot Camp, hind sight is wonderful.

Just one eh?
Lately I've been incredibly impressed with my Blackland Dart. I could sell up and just keep that one and be happy.

It has been over 3 months so I have changed my choice. My choice now is my slightly modified Gold Dollar 66.
If I had to choose one, it would be my Ever-Ready 1914
I'd pare back to my starter razor, the Merkur 33c, if told I had to get rid of other stuff. I still use it to "reset" myself when I'm starting to get the yips with another razor. Something about the combination of using it the longest, plus it being a very accommodating razor to begin with, has made it so it tares the scale for me.
I'd probably ask if I could keep an injector since it's really something a bit different, but ok fine - only one, so Merkur 33c it is.

Fumbling about.
I have a few razors, but two of the best in terms of delivering great shaves are the Opgress and the Mergress both of which are derived from the Progress which delivers the exact shave.
No, it's not stainless steel. It's nothing fancy. Yes, it's that crummy zamac stuff. Still, it's an excellent razor in my experience with it.
I'm curious. How do you define "the best razor?"
(I'm not picking on you or baiting you. I'm just curious.)
I don't know, but it might be the Mergress.
It might also be the Sailor. There would be other contenders, too, of course.
I'm not planning to pick just one.
Happy shaves,

Good question
. Really thinking about it I don't think any of my razors give me a better shave than others, just different if that make sense. I love shaving with my vintage most though. Cleaning them after a shave my mind often wonders to.Who owed it before me ?.
Where had it been ?.
Just two questions, but I can spend a long time thinking of answers.
Same. But I will put up a fight to keep the others I have. Now if I lose that fight? Then Trac II it is!
Well, I want to say this.
I could be happy with my RS10, Ti BB Lite, and Karve Overlander.
Gillette Mach3. Used it for a decade, and after coming back to it years later with better prep, mapping and fancier software (and even canned goo with slightly more cautious technique), I found it beats every other DE or cart so far.
It’s also fast and efficient getting me as close to BBS as possible with minimal effort and zero pain, with the only con being a little tugging, which I’ll gladly trade for the above pros.
