[bberg100]

Rockwell 6S (seems to be leading this thread by a significant margin)
R-41 Grande
FaTip Grande
Pre-war Fat Handle Tech
Any NEW

 

[Heresy]

That's a tough one and tends always a little bit to the new entries

My all-time top five in DE could be:
- Merkur Progress
- Merkur 34C
- Rotbart Mond Extra #15
- Gillette Rocket TV-Special
- Gillette Aristocrat #16

But then I had to exclude:
- Gillette NEW long comb US
- Gillette NEW RFB
- Weber PH
- Barbaros TR-1
- Gillette Adjustable Super-84
- ...

That would be unfair.

 

[Doug57]

In no particular order:

Gillette C1 Red Tip Super Speed
Gillette English Rocket HD
Gillette K2 Slim Adjustable
Gillette NEW Long Comb
Gillette Pre-war Fat Handle Tech

I guess I'm just a vintage Gillette kinda guy.

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)

2. iKon 102

I own one. I do not like it. At all. But the Slim... Fantastico!

 

[DrAwkward]

In no particular order:

British NEW RFB
Barbasol floating head
ATT H-2
Leresche 77
British Aristocrat 3rd generation (aka #16)

Why must I limit this list to 5? I have so many razors that I love to use.
My all-time favorite razor is whatever I shaved with this morning ...

Have one, birthday razor. Don't care for it, Slim & early Super Adjuster are much better.

 

[nikonNUT]

No numbers because I love them all...
'34 Aristocrat
1921 Bulldog
1921 New Improved Bostonian
English NEW RFB
15mm NEW DeLuxe (OK, all of my NEW DeLuxes!)

I have 3 Fatboys, at first they were so so but after using them a few times, it has become one of my favorite. On the other hand, I have 5 Slims that I have tried to like, but I can't. As they say, YMMV.
