Top three safety razors

I'm pondering buying a new razor, maybe next month. What are your best three razors - vintage or modern? I'll count them up and maybe we could have a definitive best razor. I don't own enough to comment!

 

Gillette Red Tip, and vintage Gillette Adjustable (I really like my Slim Adjustable), any Gillette Super Speed. At least as far as DE razors go.

 

Gillette Old Type, Schick G type, Gillette Super Speed (Y2)

Those are my easiest shavers. If I want hassle free simple mindless BBS I pick up one of those. If you don't want the injector then sub out a Fat Boy(E2)

 

Gillette '46 Aristocrat
Muhle R41

I have others, but these are my current go to shavers.

 

1. R41
The rest are just things i shave with, some happen to look nice.

 

Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip. Mongoose. Blackland Blackbird.

*Gillette Aristocrat

* A must have in every den.

 

Gillette Fatboy/Slim Adjustables (tie)
Gillette Black Tip
Schick Krona

 

Gillette Fat Boy
Gillette NEW Short Comb
Gillette Slim

.........and Gillette Red Tip Super Speed

 

I vote r41 as well

 

My favorite is Rockwell 6s

 

That list works for me.

 

Vintage
HD500
NEW SC
Red Tip

Modern
DE89
34C
R41 - experienced

 

I will chime in with a vote for the Merkur slants -- 37C & 39C. The Merkur 37G (gold plated) is, sadly, no longer in production.

 

New
1. Pils
2. Razorock Stealth
3. R41

Vintage
1. Gem Micromatic Open Comb
2. Gillette Milord
3. Gillette Flair tip Super Speed

 

R41 (2011)
40s Superspeed
Slim Adjustable

In that order for me.

 

Icon Shavecraft Tech.
All the rest.

 

My top three are very standout easy for me:

Blackland Blackbird
Rockwell 6S
Fatip Grande

Honorable Mention would go to my Super Adjustable

Those are the only razors I use any more, basically. I have a couple of Shavecrafts I bring on the road with me, but that is it.

 

May not be my most expensive razors but standout shaves.
Distinguished between types of razors as opposed to vintage vs new.

1) Gillette Triangular Tech 3 piece (early Cda a bit more aggressive) Great shave zero drama.
2) Gillette 1947 Aristocrat. TTO (U.S.A.)
3) Schick E2 injector

Trailing... Gillette Aristocrat Jr. 1949 (England) Flat base plate.
Gillette LC Canadian and Gillette SC U.S.A. equal efficiency both great shaves.

N.B. - Found U.S. Short Comb +1 to be more efficient than Cda SC. Comparable to Cda LC.
Upgrade of 47 Aristocrat after recent shave off vs Jr. Spot on head geometry coupled with thicker handle and knurling edged out Jr.
My choices are not nationalist biased and only mentioned to distinguish between razor variances.

 

My Aristocrat Jr. is a fave of mine but I have trouble with the slimmer handle.

 

Lots of the old, but steady, Gillette vintage razors being mentioned. Except for the lone Krona, all of my razors are old Gillettes.
