    Man, tough crowd :D

    Ok, if I cheat and look at my s/sheet there are only two razors (out of 45 tested so far) that have a 9.5 (out of 1o) rating;
    - M.Peroni, and
    - Tradere OC.

    That's as granular as I could get :)

    Love them both....

    Tough to pick just one, but since my earliest entry in this thread was a DE razor, time to update….
    my vintage Böhler-Stahl 'Star of David' 5/8 round-point is my current favorite….

    Streaked celluloid scales with what looks to be probably 'faux' MOP inlay.

    Tough one. The Ranger Tech/'47 Super Speed (shave basically the same) are legendary for me, but I'm settling in on the Red Tip now that it's taken a liking to me.

    On sheer looks, either of the Black Beauty adjustables or a nickel-plated NEW or Aristocrat/President.

    As a concept, the Shake Sharp...a winning combination of design, quality, utility (assuming carbon blade use) and shave.

    But if this is really one of those 'on a desert island for the rest of your life' questions, there's no question:

    The Rolls.
