My wife knew I wanted to place an order. Being clairvoyant she told me yesterday morning that I should order my “razor” (.68 jaws and .84 SB Gamechanger base plates). Turns out my order shipped just in time. Love my wife!
What’s your favourite modern day de razor?

My Tatara Masamune. Smooth and a great daily driver!!
I have the same razor, and it is fantastic for me and very well build.
I have a lot of razors, including some, but no means all of the modern ones. I draw the line around $200, so anything that costs more than that, I will likely never buy unless pre-owned on the BST. My current favorite moderns are the Blackbird O/C, and for about half the price of the Blackbird, the GC 84 or 84 Jaws. I also really appreciate a modern throwback, the PAA open comb bakelite - I have it in 3 colors, and love it for the price, the weight, construction (including metal hardware inset into the bakelite), and the super close shave!
Of the many many razors I have tried I like the feel of the Parker 97 & 94 better than all the rest.
1. Timeless Ti .68SB
2. ATT Windsor M1
3. ATT Classic M1

Highly subject to change, perhaps weekly, but today it would be the . . . um . . . the Merkur Futur.
To date, my favorite is a Timeless .95 OC. But I haven't tried a Wolfman or Haircut & Shave Co. Yet...
After a ten year hiatus from buying razors, in the last two months, I've acquired in chronological order:
RR GC .84
Rockwell 6S
RR GC .68
Karve CB
Rex Ambassador.
IMO, if I finish with the Timeless Ti, I'll have the modern day Murder's Row of razors.
That said, if I had to put them in order of preference, with the caveat that I haven't tried the Rex yet, and also that they are ALL great. Splitting hairs of great here:

It's very hard to pick a favourite. Much like picking a favourite child.
Feather AS-D2
Gamechanger .68
Rex Envoy
Merkur 15c
Edwin Jagger DE89
I've been a DE89 user for 10 years. I've only just gotten back into the hobby side of it again and started buying new razors recently.
If it came down to it the DE89 would be my #1 razor despite having others that cost more money. Familiarity is what I have with the DE89 and the intimate knowledge of how to get the best from it.
