    It may be my recently aquired NEW. After just two shaves, I'm in love. Although I do have a few more coming my way and a few still sitting on the shelf waiting to be tried.

    A Lord Smart 3 piece razor. Handle is a little thin but it works oh so very well for me.

    I have only one so it's easy to decide, the Weishi Twist to open in gunmetal finish

    For me it is the Muhle R89. Beautiful, balanced, smoooth.

    Merkur Futur - Set anywhere between 1 - 3 depending on circumstances of the shave.

    Merkur Progress.

    This thread prompted my son and I to determine which razor IS the go to, because of liking most all the razors in the arsenal. I told him I think that the razor that you brag about would qualify as the go to. All the others, just because you like them are the others.

    It has been a Merkur slant-bar but...

    I'm getting into vintage Gillette razors. So far, my Aristocrat gets the nod, but the ball-end New is right up there. The President and Red-Tip are close behind, but something about that Aristocrat is just right! Drop in the right blade, and its practically unbeatable!

    I actually laughed out loud when I read that. Best answer thus far IMO Steve.




    I think if the Progress were mine I would have to bump it to the top but since it is on loan, I default back to my original.

    Now, the way my dad, southernscribbler (above), and I figured out how to make this unbiased to our other razors (to keep from hurting their feelings, ya know?) was to see it thus: if someone held a gun to your head and said pick one, the one you chose would be your go to.

    Now probably my '59 Fat Boy but, I can't wait to try out the "New" that is coming in the mail. From what I've heard in a number of places, this is a VERY NICE shaving razor! :cool:

    I will add that since I still like to try out cheap and/or user grade razors, and I have on occasions have terrible or very rough shave after using one of them, that the razor that I return to time and time again that gives me a foolproof, easy mild shave, is my beat up ugly old Clix D/E.
