    Most days I shave half awake before I scoot off to work and just use the same set up, a Merkur HD with a Shark Super Chrome. I have a few other razors ( Feather Portable, Ball End Tech, Bar Handle Short Comb New, and a Progress), but the HD does what I need.

    Go to my shave den page to see what I use. I don't have a set rotation. I usually keep only one razor loaded with a blade for the life of the blade then decide if I want to use a different razor for the next blade, etc.

    I usually use a Parker 60R. Nice razor. I have a gillette ball end tech that I use sometimes. Also a really nice razor.

    Hello? V1P3R? You there?

    Hel-l-l-l-o-o-o-o-o? Anybody home?

    Poor guy probably had heart failure from seeing soooo many options. Hope he's okay!

    Merkur 38C loaded with Bolzano blades - perfect combination (for me)

    Bolzanos are almost sharp as Feathers, but are not that wild and give smooth shave every time.

    '53 Gillette Super Speed... for now.:cool: But my wallet seems to be praparing for severe atrophy, due I imagine, to this phenomenon I have learned is termed RAD :shocked031 I distinctly remember my Dad shaving with (and he also letting me "shave"- sans blade), a Gillette S/S Red Tip; so that lil' devil would really be a prize! I just hope he remembers where it is after all these years.

    Pretty much in the order of the frequency of use:

    1901 Ever Ready Lather Catcher
    1912 Gem Damaskeene
    Gillette 3 piece old type ball end
    1952 Gillette Super Speed
    Gem Micromatic OC
    6/8 McPherson Bros. Silver Steel
    5/8 Dovo
    Valet Auto Strop

    I use mostly straights, but if I'm in a hurry or traveling where I don't want to take a straight, I use the Merkur 23C or an old Gillette Slim Handled adjustable.

    Although I have more than a few razors, I find myself only using 2 of them. A Mergress, and Bobs 'Old Type' Bull Mastiff.

    I keep both loaded and locked.:D
