Merkur 37c slant. I get a 2P + touchup BBS with no blood, without having to be super careful or finicky about technique; not sloppy, mind you, just shave without worry.
What is your absolutely favorite razor of all times?

Pretty happy with my broman, easy peasy shaver giving dfs and not difficult blades wise.
This really is weird, given that it is not particularly difficult to load a blade into a three-piece razor like a Tech. I mean, seriously, unless you have shaky hands, loading up a Tech is neither difficult nor dangerous.
I like variety in my daily shaves, and never use the same razor two days in a row. Among my favorites are the ATT H2, R41 2011, Ikon Shavecraft Tech, Wolfman WR1 .74 open comb, Wolfman WR2 1.35 open comb, PAA DOC Evolution, Paradigm 17-4, Mergress, etc.
But my Charcoal Goods Level 3 in brass is king of the hill.

Blackland Sabre L2.
Magical shaves. Always on point. Not fickle.

It constantly changes as I get new things. My current go to is a Razorock Eco I paid $20 for. All time? Rocket 500, New Deluxe, Weber Polished.

I have been DE shaving for about 4 years and ran across a 1930's Gillette that I bought for $8. It looks like crap but it is the best razor I own and it gives me an incredible shave.
I only shave my head but this is easy to answer based on my purposes. Out of my 40 or so razors my favorites are:
Leaf - for up to 3 days growth
RR JAWS - for beyond 3 days growth
Feather Artist Club SS - beard detailing and trimming
I know quite a few people think the Leaf is a gimmick but for daily head shaving it's the best I've ever had and it's not like a cart. It's its own animal. The RazoRock JAWS used to be my favorite until the Leaf came into my collection. I have several high $ razors but for head shaving they just aren't my favorites.

Out of all the razors that I own, the one that always stands out from the rest is the long discontinued Vision 2000.
It is my double edge broad sword.

My two favourites are the Rockwell 6C and the little Merkur 34C
Way to go GaryTha. I admire your minimalism!
I believe that my EJ DE86 has replaced the Tech as my favorite razor. I get really good easy shaves from it. The head is a foolproof design.... maybe I’m still a beginner... lol. 
I'm very fond of my Timeless SS .68 w/scalloped head & base.
I'm getting faultless results from the Rockwell 6S, usually with the R5 plate (0.69mm) plus Astra SPs.
There must be fancier razors out there, that I would like, but chasing them isn't a priority.
