Ranking: The top 5 best shaving safety razors.

[Pippirull]

My top 5 right now. Will most certainly change sooner or later, probably sooner.

Gillette red tip
Gillette super adjustable
Gillette flare tip
Merkur 34C
Rotbart Mond Extra RFB

 

[pbrmhl]

Charcoal Goods Level 3 open comb in antique brass
Asylum RX
Schick E2
Muhle R41 2011
ATT SE2

 

[srgjazz]

Ming Shi 2000s.

The question is impossible to answer. I can name at least 20 "best shaving" DE, SE, and Injector razors and they are equal.

 

[imatabor]

My top 5:

Wilkinson Pall Mall

Colonial General

RFB NEW

Weck Prep

Ikon El Jefe

 

[rabidus]

1. MMOC/1. Streamline shared
2. GEM 1914
3. Clog Pruf
4. G Bar
5. NEW SC
6.'48 Aristocrat
7. Postwar Tech

 

[GoHabs]

In no particular order.

Timeless 0.68
Rockwell 6 S (plate # 4)
Barbaros TR-2
Edwin Jagger DE 89 (Head) on a Maggard MR5 Handle (my favorite handle)
Wolfman Guerrilla

 

[John Clayton III]

In no particular order:

• Mongoose
• Hawk (stainless and aluminum)
• Wunderbar
• German 37
• AS-D2
• SC102

And the worst, for varying reasons:

• El Jefe (iKon should rename it MS13 or Jack the Ripper)
• MJ90 (woefully inefficient)
• Parker 22R (mediocre TTO mechanism)
• X3 (too mild and inefficient)
• Vikings Blade Chieftain (rebranded Baili)

Personally I really like the Gillettes. the Parker is excellent as well. I think any razor can be made to work well, though.

1. Gillette New
2. Gillette Red Tip
3. Gillette Flare Tip
4. Gillette Tech (any of them, really)
5. Parker 26c

 

[carofe]

EJ D89

 

[dionesius3]

My top five are;
1.) Rocket HD (all brass version from UK)
2. ) #66 Aristocrat (Also from UK)
3.) Red Tip Super Speed (early production with better workmanship)
4.) Senator/Sheraton I have two and use them often
5.) Flat Bottom Tech (also UK)
Honorable mention, The four piece travel Tech

 

[bahomebrew]

I'll throw my top five in the ring.

1. Fine Superlight
2. Pre-war ball end Gillette Tech
3. Gem Jr.
4. Weishi 9306C
5. SuperMax KWIK(I love this plastic 2 piece but it is pretty aggressive and hard for me to make it an every day handle, still a great shaver, though)

I haven't tried nearly everything there is to try, but these all shave consistently well, and I can use them everyday without any upset or problem, save for the aforementioned KWIK, which is just surprisingly a great shaver given all the plastic, the Plastic!

 

[Pedict]

Fatboy 195
Slim Adjustable
Red Tip
Superspeed
Tech

 

[Space_Cadet]

Merkur 34c has to be up there

 

[BigJ]

Tough question! My choices:
Wolfman WR1
Slim
Post war Tech
Superspeed Blue Tip
Merkur 34C

 

[Haegar]

Hard to decide.
In no particular order:

Counterclock wise:

• ABC Flower (alternatively ABC Shell or Single Ring, not in picture)
• Rotbart N° 20
• Mühle R41
• Nicplata N°12
• Rocket

To be fair, I have to extend my top best shaving razors from 5 to at least eight, by adding Merkur 34C and 37C, and also the amazing Gillette NEW with bar handle:

 

[bazza1]

My Current 5 favourites are.
Not in any order.
1.Muhle R89.
2.Merkur 34C.
3.Muhle R41.
4.Merkur 37C.
5. Parker 99R.
other razor on equal par would be Merkur 39C, Parker 65R,

 

[serafino]

Gillette Slim Adjustable with Feather blades

 

[entropy1049]

I can only reply with what I have personal experience with. I came to DE by way of straights, I have a lot of experience with straight razors, but pretty limited with DE...Have a MMCP that I haven't used yet (just yesterday ordered blades for it ) and a MMOC on the way, so they may well barge into the line up, but for the moment:

1- Blackbird
2- Slim
3- Fatboy
4- Krona
5- RR Baby Smooth

 

[sebargan2313]

Ok. In no particular order
1. Parker 26c
