    Haha.. Who knows?!:p The problem was that the neck irritation was unbearable but the face was always perfect. After the laser hair removal though, this might be the last hurrah! ::

    Pretty much a tie between my Parker 22R and my Weishi satin chrome and gold.

    The Merkur Progress is by far the best razor in my quiver.

    I'm constantly reshuffling my favorites. Today my personal ranking is:

    Tech
    SuperSpeed black handle U4 1974
    SuperSpeed Red Tip C1 1957
    NEW
    Slim Twist L4 1991-92
    Eversharp (Schick Krona) 426M mid-60s
    Fat Boy F4 1960
    Slim Adjustable H1 1962

    Usually the Tech or NEW is at the top of my list but I've been on a Super Speed kick lately. I have about ten others I no longer use including two more SuperSpeeds. I'm trying to cut these eight to four. I have no rotation plan — I just choose one at random every morning.

    I only have a Merkur Futur so that is ofcourse my choice, I like it a lot!

    ...but I'm waiting for a few items that I've got off ebay (and a blade sampler from Connaught ), so I hope to "expand" my experiences :p

    What a great thread. I’ve been shaving with a ‘50s SuperSpeed for about the last 6 months and after reading this thread it made me feel like I was stuck in a rut! So, this morning I used my Merkur Futur… it’s like getting reacquainted with an old friend.

    My favorite razor for shaving would have to be the ‘50s Gillette SuperSpeed with the flared TTO knob. My favorite for look and feel, but not for its shaving qualities would be my Gillette President; it looks like a beautiful piece of jewelry but it’s just a tad to aggressive for me.

    Any Merkur non adjustable-but if there can be only one the I'll go with the 33C.

    Gillette Super Speed Blue Tip
    Gillette 60's Super Speed
    Gillette Tech

    all with a mild blade like Dorco or Crystal

    The Tech gives a very good shave, but makes me feel like I'm holding the blade in my fingers: very loud and too much feedback. Strange.
