Tough call. If daily use probably my WR2 1.05 SB. With 2-3 days growth I’d say charcoal goods level 2 or Gillette slim on 8. But there a few close runners up too.

Changing my mind to undecided. Timeless SS .68 and RR Mamba 70.
Easy. My Merkur 37c is my go-to razor. Followed closely by my Fatip Grande.
If I ever get around to having my Canadian Big Fellow re-plated, I’d probably use it regularly. It’s one of my best performing razors for me, irregardless it’s age or historical prestige. Heavy, solid, very aggressive and smooth.

Having enjoyed both modern and vintage almost in equal numbers...only right to have 2 selections in both categories, plus a second..... 
Vintage= 1st Gillette British RFB
2nd Gillette New SC
Modern= 1st RR German 37 Slant
2nd RR GC 0.84-P SB

Down to 1 Razor: Timeless TI Polished Scalloped cap on Timeless Bronze .38 Solid Bar baseplate with Graphite Muhle Hexagon Handle
Started with an Edwin Jagger Ivory D87 passed down from Grandfather that had the Top cap threads damaged.
Purchased a Muhle Hexagon with similar Head brass threads(I believe) rather than older Pot. Was easier to learn without the Freeplay (slop) with aforementioned top cap, but did not like the balance of weight.
Put the Muhle Head on the Edwin Jagger handle and it felt much better. (Slighty shorter handle, made it more 'head' heavy)
Ordered the Timeless Bronze baseplate for Heft with Titanium Cap for the longer handled Hexagon and balance-weight felt perfect with better wet-stabilty ergonomics from the handle.
Gave the Ivory Edwin Jagger with new Muhle head to my brother.
I think I am just trying to lock down a razor-pairing. (Astra SP were okay; Feather Hi-stainless have worked well.

Rockwell 6S. I get a new razor from time to time but 6S is such a no-brainer comfortable and efficient shave, it never disappoints.
feather asd2 for me and oneblade genesis. hard to look for something better.
The Weber PH is my most used razor. It has the perfect level of heft (with bulldog handle) and medium aggression. Most of my other razors are novelties at this point, and I am due to sell some off.
60’s Super Speed is the flavour of the month.
Dang it. If I can name only two it’s gotta be these:
Gillette Hybrid Tech
Gillette British Aristocrat 4th generation
The first one is easy, my '66 Aristocrat Slim. So smooth with pretty much every blade. I really love that razor!
The second is a little more of a challenge, probably leaning toward my '49 Milord. For me, the Milord is perfect with a kai or silver blue blade and about 2 days growth. But my everyday razor is that '66 Slim!
At least for now...but I'm always looking!!

my latest purchase. a carbon cx titanium. supplanted my very best weber
My Timeless SS .68 OC is the best daily driver I’ve owned so far. It’s a joy.
Is 5 razors considered a "Collection"?....Blackbird for now.
Merkur 37C but it's the only thing I have so I guess it's a moot point.
Right now it’s a toss up between my Vintage Gillette New Deluxe on an Ikon Bulldog 85mm handle and a Vintage Gillette Old Type on a RazoRock Barberpole SS handle.
