I'm a Blackland Blackbird fanboy. My best razor is the BB with the open comb plate. 2nd Place - Gillette New LC
Tough question. I've enjoyed all of my razors. My favorite DE currently would be the Frankenrazor I use daily a Stahly Live Blade shave head on a Weber BullDog handle. Favorite SE would be a 1924 Shovel Head on a DE handle. Favorite Injector would be a Gillette G type. Never got the hang of or pleasure in using a Straight.
This question is too tough for me to answer because I have too many "best" razors! SE: Ever Ready 1914 Injector: Personna adjustable DE: Gillette fatboy SR: Charles Adam faultless Whew! Don't ask me tomorrow.
The smoothest shaver with nice heft. A tie between my HD500 and NEW SC (I weighted the handle). My nicest looking date (so to speak). Bulldog.
I only own 2 razors so far, so I haven't tried near as many razors as a lot of others. But out of the 2 that I own (34C and R41) I have to say my favorite is the R41. The 34C is a good razor don't get me wrong but once I tried the R41 it seemed way too mild after that. The Muhle just makes getting a BBS so much faster and easier.
Those were all my favorites at one point, but they have all been put away or sold. These days I mostly reach for an older Tech on a Weber Bulldog handle.
I guess if I had to pick one, in sort of a desert island scenario, I would choose the Rockwell 6S. Best availability and choice of blades, variety of plates, SS and one of the most comfortable razors I have ever used.
It would have to be my go to razor. My Gillette New Open Comb gives me a great shave with minimal effort.
*The* best? Simple. No moving parts...balanced...mild...gives the best shave I've gotten out of all my Super Speeds, adjustables, single edge, injectors...and will last *forever*.
Interpreting the question in the "who's your best girl" kind of way it's my Shake Sharp . I love my injectors and 1912s but there's no one razor that stands out in the same way as the Shake Sharp does among my DEs. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
