What are Your 5 Favorite Double Edged Razors?

[John Rose]

I'll have to get creative here.

In no particular order:

1. Gillette Super 109 - my first DE razor, which I have not seen for at least 25 years or so
2. Gillette Slim Adjustable L4
3. Fendrihan "Scientist" Full Stainless - with its combination closed & open comb head
4. My next razor, whatever that will be
5. Just because I used them for so many years: Gillette "Good News Plus" disposables - the best of a bad lot for price, performance, and availability. Ignore for the moment that the "two edges" are stacked on top of each other.

Wow, not very many Gillette Fatboy mentions here. Is it because not many people own them, or people just don't like them enough to be on their top 5 list? (I don't own one)

I have both a Fatboy and a Slim in my collection. While they have a nice weight and feel they do not provide me with as good a shave as my New and Old types.
