What's new

Your current TOP 5 DE's?

Gillette New LC
Gillette Sheraton
Gillette Fatboy
Merkur 45
Mulhe R41

The list changes all the time though...LOL

69 Gillette Super Adjustable, 48 Milord, 48 A’crat, 66 A’crat, 64 Slim, 56 Red Tip...all on the list.
 
I only have 5, but here's my list in order of bestness:
Otto Roth old-type
Merkur Futur (2)
Gillette new-type LC
Gillette Slim (4)
Rockwell 2C (3)

Based on my experience so far I believe they got the design of the DE razor right the first time.

The old-type is pretty aggressive/efficient, but rarely nicks me. The simple design is easy to clean and works just fine. It's is super-agile and makes a guest appearance every time I shave with my second choice, to clean up the leftovers it can't reach.

Most likely the order will change as I become more skilled with the various razors in it.
 
Gibbs #17
Schotz Slant
Wardonia Standard
Leresche OC 3 piece short screw
PAA DOC

That's today; next week it could all change. The Gibbs and the Schotz are in a dead heat for first place...this week.

I know that’s only 4, but I haven’t found anything else that I’ve enjoyed as much as these.
 
1) No Name cheap Chinese heavy CC razor (0.70 EUR from Romania) - absolute stunning shaver!
2) Gillette Tuckaway/Fatip Grande.
3) Gillette old Type
4) Ever Ready 1912
5) Don't no, maybe something milder like Fatboy...

Matador DeLuxe
Rockwell 6s
Gillette old type
Merkur 34c

Muhle R41 or Gillette super speed -47, cant decide. Each one is the others opposite, but I like them both.
 
I only own 5, so here it is:
- flare tip super speed
- pre war tech
- post war tech
- blue tip super speed
- red tip super speed
 
From oldest to newest:
Gillette Ball End Old Type (1920s)
Gillette Canadian Goodwill #164 (1931)
Gillette C4 Flare Tip Superspeed (1957 and birth quarter)
Gillette E4 Fatboy (1959)
ATT Atlas M1 (current model)
 
4 of these are tied for 1st
Blackbird O.C
CG lvl2--I am on waiting list for lvl 3
Timeless .095 OC
Timeless Ti .095 SB
And # 5 would be 2013 R41
But on the whole I prefer Artist Club razors
