At this moment it would be the broman however I have my doubts regarding longevity and/or replacability.

Merkur Futur.
While I do try out others on occasion, my brass Christopher Bradley Karve with various plates has become The One.
I'm down to three, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Charcoal Goods Copper Level 2, which, yes, I could live with as my only razor. Never thought I would say that about any razor.
Merkur 34C for me. I have shaved almost daily with this razor for the past several years. I played the field for a while but just kept going back to it. I do keep a 54 Tech around as a spare but hardly ever use it.
Today, my ONE is my President.

I used to have a two razor rotation: a Muhle R41 and an ATT Aluminum Calypso H2. Recently a Fatip Piccolo OC has been slowly crawling into that rotation. For blades it's either Kais, Feathers or Voskhods. I like to keep things simple I guess...

I smell fake news.
LOL Dan!!! Yes, it is old news.
My President has been my ONE since getting it about a month ago.
After weighing the opinions for months, receiving one on a generous PiF and learning of its ways and timeless quality, I arrived at that conclusion that for me Gillette Tech was the benchmark set long ago and I could do no better.
I have one daily driver and a backup.

Yes. For the past 5 years I've used my Wolfman every day at home. I don't travel with it - too afraid to lose it - so I take on of my other razors when I travel.
The Wolfman has a great profile for under the nose and just does a superior job everywhere.

Same here. I3
I’ve read great things about that razor.
Merkur 37c for me. It gives me a smooth, close shave without a lot of finick and fuss about blade angle. Weight and size fit better than any of the 7-8 other razors I've tried.
Merkur slant. Chrome, gold or vintage silver with a Feather blade, the best shave for me. Over and over. Maybe the Phoenix Nickel plated DOC is close but I just don’t like how an open comb feels against my face. My first slant shave was probably more than 10 years ago and I never looked back.

In honor of @Hannah's Dad & his comment above, I used a razor other than my President today. So my new ONE razor is my '34 Aristocrat. It may not be the ONE after I use my RFB later this week, but it's holding the top spot for now!
My DE for the last few years is the DOC Evolution. For under the nose and touch up, The Holy Black barber straight.
