Your favorite razor

Which do you keep coming back to time and again? On another forum the Super Speed barely edged out the Heavy Duty. If you do not see you favorite lsited here click other than write the name.

 

Current Favorites (in order)

Treet Delrin
Gillette Fatboy
Gillette Tech
Merkur Progress / Merkur Slant

 

Right now? For DE? Parker 79. It could change.

 

So far my favorite is the Gillette Slim Adjustable. The only other razor I tried is the Merkur HD. I have a Superspeed and a Tech on the way so my favorite might change.

 

When I
absolutely, positively MUST have a great shave


SuperSpeed
to the rescue

 

Hay James, try that super speed others who have tried both have told me that the super speed will leave the slim in the dust. The Tech is somewhat of a mixed bag some people I have talked to love it others think its to querky. But the Super Speed has become a run away best seller for a reason.

 

Missing from the poll are the Gillette Slim and fat boy.

Merkur HD is still my standard DE razor. I use it for all my Method shaving. When I'm in a hurry and don't have time to use the straight, I'll alternate between my other Merkurs equally.

 

If I had to choose one DE razor from my set, it would be my Fat Boy.

 

You will have to pry my Progress from my cold, dead fingers.

I have heard some things about the progress seems to be similar to the Merkur Future that I have.

Had a bade experinece once with my Future, I put in a brand new blade and did not notice that I had the razor cranked up on five at the time. I learned right then and there to always start a new blade on one. Need less to say my face looekd like it had been put through a blender. Sort of the way my face looks like after a Russian Gillette or a Euro Gillette has touched it.

 

I voted other since my favourite for a long time has been and I guess will be.. Edwin Jagger Faux Ivory DE.. Closely followed by the HD and the SLANT..

 

I need check boxes, not radio buttons. The ones I return to most frequently:

The HD or another razor with the Classic head
The Futur
The Slant
The Gillette NEW
The Vision

 

at one time, I used the Merkur Vision on a very regular basis, but since last December, I've been using a Parker 22R just about daily.

 

Not in my book - The slim adjustable is almost good enough to make me give up straights. The red knob super speed is pretty cool though.

 

The BEST razor I own would be my Gillette Milord. IMHO, most but not all blades I put in it, I have a great shave using it. :bounce015

 

I voted other. Currently I'm back to my Merkur Progress. But my favorite Gillette is the 1959 FatBoy.

 

I'm a SER shaver! So, for me, the true answer is a Wade & Butcher "For Barber's Use" SER.

However, if I must absolutely identify a DE razor, then the answer is a Merkur Progress (it's got the most time of use of any of my DEs -- because I'm a SER shaver! :happy093).

 

The Long Handled Classic. The 23 skee-doo. This is definitely my favorite razor. Although I have been enjoying my Trumper Warwick. Long handle same head but a simulated tortoise finish. Very comfortable in the hand.
