    I alternate between my 66 SS, my 1912 GEN jr, my 48/50 SS and my MM. However I do believe my 1912 is my favorite and I also think I have lost my 48/50 SS to my wife!

    Use Edwin Jagger DE87. Truly beautiful razor. The ivory handle is comfortable and does not appear slippery.

    Forgot to mentyion that I alternate with an older Gillette. Not sure of the type. Both give remarkable shaves.

    Gillette.
    Well... I've got a Merkur too; but my Gillettes are my go-to razors.

    Brand: GEM
    Models: 1x 1912 and 1x Junior (essentially the same)

    And after a whee bit of testing and playing around, I use now exclusively Ted Pella stainless steel SE blades, PFTE-coated for use in the above-mentioned Gems.

    For everyday I use a Future. When I move, I use the 37c slant, easier to transport.

    A remark moreover: an excellent blade in a razor will be sometimes inferior in the other one.

    Example: Astra Platinium is very good on the Future, and average on the slant. Feather is very aggressive on the Future, and much softer on the slant.

    If I had to pick one, it would me my old, reliable late 40s Gillette Superspeed.

    I would have a tough time not being able to mix in my long-combed New or my Red-Tip, however.

    Oh, yeah, and my Schick Krona.

    And my Fat-Boy.

    And... I have too many to list.

    Gillette classics mostly, such as 65' Slim, 59' FatBoy set at 7-9, and 55' Red Tip, offset only by my SE Gem Gold lid Push Button. I love em all, but lately the Red Tip has grown on me, as I am leaning towards using sharper-but forgiving blades in more aggressive non-adjustable razors. May try a modern non-adjustable DE next in Merkur, Muele, or EJ lines.

    I pretty much only use Schick Injectors

    I have an E Schick that I use most of the time. I bought it NOS, unused condition on eBay and it shaves like a dream.

    I also use a Schick L1 - also purchased new, unused on eBay.
