Still the "1".
Your best razor is....

Probably a DE razor made by Gillette between 1930 and 1970, possibly an adjustable razor.
Sorry my answer is so vague, but the question itself was pretty broad. It's like being asked if I had a large harem filled with beautiful intelligent women, who is my favorite?

Best Overall: Wolfman WR2 1.25 SB on a Fat Tech Handle.
Best Vintage: My short comb Rotbart Mond Extra RFB.

My best razor is also one of my cheapest razors. The Winning Razor has become my daily driver. None of my other razors shave me as close or as comfortably as the Winning razor that I picked up for $39 during a 4th of July sale.
Razorock 37 German slant because it gives me the closest shaves with only mild irritation. I have 8 DE razors in total. The slant works so well for me.
I am new to DE shaving and so far have tried the Feather Popular, Schick Krona, R89, and R41. I don't have many shaves on these but that Popular was way too mild for a close shave, the R41 was noticeably more aggressive and didn't provide me with a better shave then the R89. The Krona did decent but nowhere near as audible to me as the R89 which just felt smoother.
So for me it is the R89 at the moment. I would love to find a TTO that is identical in performace to the R89 with a decently long handle.

Merkur 34C with Rapira Platinum Lux blades
My best shaving and most favored razor is a function of the Merkur 34C and Rapira Platinum Lux blades. I've tried many other blades in the Merkur with acceptable results, but none deliver smoother, closer, or more comfortable shaves than the above. I've used dozens of other blades available from private vendors and Amazon, but the one blade I return to and now use exclusively is Rapira Platinum Lux. With a beard like wire and sensitive skin, a 34C and a Rapira Platinum Lux makes shaving a joy, again. In fact, I've not be able to shave daily in years; but with the above, shaving daily is doable if I choose to do it--I made this discovery this week. Shaved three days in a row and have not had an issue with a daily shave schedule and my skin has yet to rebel against daily (two-pass) shaves.

I agree! Wish they would offer a limited edition stainless model.
The Lupo .95 OC might not be much of a looker but it is incredibly good. It is way better than its SB version.
Previously my favorite was the Lupo .72
Then I got the ATT Windsor .80 and it blew the Lupo away.
Now I got the Karve CB brass with the D plate and I'm stuck
between the two. The Karve is phenomenal!
I guess I'm in denial that it might be better than the Windsor

I gotta change my favorite to Lupo .95OC.
I'm getting closer shaves with less work. This thing is great!

Man I want to say the PAA Ascension Select DOC razor is my best because I really enjoy using it.
But it just can't beat the Rockwell 6C. My Rockwell gives me consistent and phenomenal shaves no matter what blade is in it.
#1 goes to the Rockwell 6C for dependability and consistency.

I know what you mean. I am still stunned. Didn't expect that.
The Tatara Masamune Nodachi.
My choice is guaranteed to change tomorrow.

Build quality matches the Windsor, shaves smoother and is more efficient. And It's cost was 3 times less!
