Right now I have a Merkur 37C and ATT S1. I’ve had a Gillette Slim and EJ DE89 in the past, but I sold the slim and gave the DE89 away.

Time for a visual update after some finetuning of the vintage stash over the last few months, where boring home office work and internet access provided a healthy platform for acquiring new stuff. The finetuning meant a.o. that the gorgeous Toggle is gone, a wonderful Kirby came and went, and the unique find of the Rotbart ‘Pineapple’ OT entered.
But the core remains as I suspect it will forever. Minimalism for me has to be “stay at 60”! Which means that I still have the ambition of “one in-one out”.
A few razors are with Captain Murphy and Chris Evatt for refurbishment and a couple are inbound
including the L’Essor differential comb, but apart from these I took 3 new pics to show (a) the rare birds, (b) the obsession, and (c) the rest.

Been trimming down over time; goal to get back to a more minimalist setup is going well (likely selling some soon too).
In no particular order:
1. Muhle r41 (2013) with the Rose gold handle
2. Maggard slant with their mr5 handle
3. QShave adjustable futur clone
4. Standard razor in black

1. 1960s Gillette Fatboy given to me by my father when I started shaving in 1980.
than I forgot it back home when I emigrated to Berlin in 2000 so I bought
2. A Merkur 34c that is still my main driver together with
3. A Fatip Picollo my wife bought me two years ago during a trip in Naples
So all in all 3 DEs during forty years of daily DE shaving
It's not my fault that these things last forever

Good idea for a thread! Here goes...
Merkur 34C
Merkur 37C
Wilkinson Sword Classic TTO
Feather Popular
Gillette ball end Tech 1960s
GSC JFK Replitech
Rockwell 6S
Merkur 15C
Gillette Slim Adjustable - 1964 J3, like me.
My favourite, impossible to say but probably tied between the Rockwell and the 34C, as both give effortless shaves every time.

I forgot my Muhle R41! It won't like that!
These are the razors in my rotation. At one time I had more than 30.
My current rotation is about 25split between two locations. I have really come to like the precision of modern razors - Wolfman, Timeless, Paradigm and the like. Then I go back to an old Gillette,Leresche or Apollo and realize how nice they are. Best to have a variety!
1. Merkur Futur (sold)
2. Feather AS-D2 (sold)
3. Timeless SS 0.68 OC (perfection)

Hi,
Gah! You're gonna make me think! Ok. Coffee.....and.....wait for it.....Think!
These are what I have right now. There were some others along the way which I passed on to others. I won't try and recall all of those. Things like a Red Tip and a Blue Tip, which I do recall. But, other ones I know I have forgotten all about.
Pre war Tech (what Dad handed me in 1976)
1948 Super Speed (what Mom gave Dad for their first Christmas in 1948)
Old Type Thin Cap (what Grandma handed me after Grandpa passed away)
New Long Comb
New Short Comb
Post War Tech (what I got after Dad passed away, I use it on May 6th each year - his Birthday)
Fasan DoubleSlant
Schick Type C open comb repeater (Injector where the blades are in the handle)
- My ground travel razor
New Improved
1934 Aristocrat (open comb)
- Those two form a 7-day OC set for Open Comb October. I bought those just for that reason a few years ago.
Above The Tie S2 Slant (Jan, 2020)
- I have been alternating between the S2 and the Fasan for the past month.
There is an Evans ladies travel razor which I wound up finding when my Mom passed away. It is a tiny, tiny DE and it won't begin to cut my whiskers. Cary Grant used one in North by Northwest. Talk about Hollywood License!
There are a couple straight razors which Dad had but never used. I never have used them, either. So, I'll mention them but I have no details regarding them. They were probably his dad's but my Dad never said anything about them.
Here is a pic of the 7 Day OC Set:
Here is a pic of the Heirloom razors. Including the two mugs of Dad's Old Spice I also wound up with when he passed away:
And, finally, the New Guy, the ATT S2:
