    I'll have to say my British Aristocrat #15, but man, that's a tough question.:)

    I've been enjoying the no date code/no blade notch '47 Super Speed lately, but you can't go wrong with ANY '40s era S.S.

    Or pretty much any Gillette TTO.

    But if money is no object...the '41 Ranger Tech.

    My favorite TTO adjustable was a Fatboy but has been replaced by the Slim. The Slim is a little lighter and the head is a little thinner. For the TTO non-adjustable, it is the Gillette SS 1958 Cavalcade of Sports TV razor. Something about the engineering of this razor just works for me. I reckon that the Slim on setting 3 and the '58 TV must have the same or similar blade angles. With both I get great shaves. :happy108:

    I have one of those 58 SS, you are 100% right, it is a beauty and it shaves very nicely.

    I forgot to add my Schick Krona. I can't have just one favorite.

    I like my 1959 FatBoy best, but I like my Aristocrat, too because it reminds me of my Dad.
    Both are excellent shavers.

    I'm really a 3 piece or ER 1924 fan. But the vintage TTO's I've gotten my best shaves from are any of the Gillette Adjustable's and the 47-50 Aristocrat. :)
