All of my DE razors are vintage Gillette, the only modern one i have is a Merkur 34C...What would you all suggest for a modern one for me to try?
Prefer a close comb non slant.

That's a nice looking razorStill pretty much a Dark Horse —> Green Cult 2.0
Those are niceI always suggest Yates 921-M, Blackbird, Rocca R94, Lupo 95, Overlander, and Tatara Masamune\Nodachi. All superb shavers.
I have a british flare tip, a regular flare tip, a black tip, a regular tech, an aristocrat, a fatboy, a slim boy, a black beauty, a black handle flare tipYou don't say which vintage Gillete razors you prefer. I am partial to Techs, really like all the pre and post war versions that I own, and occasionally use a New Long Comb.
Anyway, I generally prefer mild shavers, and when use a modern razor I reach for my Feather ASD2 or Razorock Game Changer 68P. Both give me great, mild shaves.
Thanks @ewkAs always, I give full-throated assent to @gdawg55 's suggestions. Those are all worthy of consideration, and I love each and every one of them.
I will add the Above the Tie Windsor SSRH. It has great aesthetic beauty, and is super comfortable and efficient. Because of its beautiful design, it is edging out the Yates 921-M as my very favorite razor. It is just that good. For a more economical choice, and if you do not mind a lighter razor, the ATT SB90 is a very fine razor that raises the efficiency of the Merkur 34C.
If you are looking for higher efficiency, the Edwin Jagger 3one6 is excellent (I prefer it to the the Rocca, but the Rocca is one smooth shaver), and the Timeless aluminum is also a highly efficient and economical "luxury" razor.
