Your current TOP 5 DE's?

IMG_20200116_074826.jpg

  • Brass Karve with C,D SB plates and C OC - all great options for a fantastic shave.
  • RR GC.84 SB and OC plates - both are great shavers.
  • Fendrihan Stainless Steel - Gold head - very efficient and a bit aggressive.
  • RR Mamba 70 - particularly when my face is a bit irritated.
  • Gillette NSC - dependable.

To be perfectly honest I used to be clean shaved all the time but a couple of years ago started growing the beard....I do cut the lines and clean up the neck with a DE still but have found that all the stuff is largely a waste anymore!

1. Game Changer 0.84 OC by a large margin
2. Gillette Single Ring
3. Flare Tip Super Speed (J code, family heirloom)
4. Gillette Black Beauty (can't remember date code)
5. Gillette Old Type or Schone OC

HM: I would include a GEM razor and the RR Black Hawk if it wasn't limited to DE. I would also include an antelope/kabinet shavette and/or a straight if I could use them consistently every day and if it wasn't limited to DE.
 
After using numerous razors since getting involved in this insane hobby in 2014, the razor that beats them all (for me) is the Merkur Progress, short handle. In fact, I just got myself a second one.
I have a Mergress. It’s a good razor but not top 5 for me. I do use it though, haven’t sold it.
