    I got a Knotty Badger razor, too. Very nice work, indeed!

    Gotta get pics, or just steal the ones Rodd took. If I can find them.

    Okay my top 3. I will classify them as DE, SE and Unusual.

    The DE is my '36 Gillette NEW with Thick Handle from a Red & Black set.

    [​IMG]

    My SE is my '11 GEM Jr. Lather Catcher with 2 piece handle and stropping attachment.

    [​IMG]

    Finally the Unusual class. That one is my Rolls Razor

    [​IMG]

    Of course I have another 24 razors, both DE and SE that I use in my regular rotation but these three are the ones that jump out quickest when I am asked this question.
     
  14. I've tried super speeds and I umm... well, I don't like them.

    I have a red tip a tech and some other SS collecting dust in my medicine cabinet, and there they shall stay.

    The only DE I use nowadays is my Futur. THAT is a great razor.

    Until you've tried a late 40's style SS you haven't tried a SS. :D

    I only have three safety razors, but two of them are my favorite. The one I currently use is a Merkur travel safety razor that I bought on leesrazors.com. I bought it five years ago when I moved out of my parents house, and had wanted a safety razor. The second one, which I do not use is a vintage Gillette that belonged to my grandfather. My father gave it to me ten years ago, and it is literally the first shaver I ever owned.
