    Ok, here is the deal. What are the top five razors on your list that you want to try that you don't already have? Just dream and then let 'er rip. Qualify your want if you choose to but it is not required.



    Mine?

    1. Merkur Slant
    2. Merkur Progress
    3. Merkur HD
    4. Gillette Fatboy
    5. Any Muhle


    My only concern with all the Merkurs is the possible quality problems, but that is a different thread.

    Don't actually have any intention of buying any of these any time soon. I really think I'm RADded out, for now. But at some time, maybe. . .

    1. Rolls Razor
    2. Old Star with wedge blade
    3. Merkur slant
    4. Merkur Progress (already have Gillette adjustables)
    5. Gillette Fusion (ducks and runs for cover):shocked002

    On that last one, no seriously. It's not that I think they'd be great shavers, but I've never used a cartridge with more than two blades before. At some point I could afford to drop $8 on one with its one or two sample cartridges, and try it for myself. Then most likely, put it in a drawer and never use it again.

    The others should be fairly self explanatory.

    Uh, yeah. Think of the crowd we have here. Some of the worlds most knowledgeable people with regard to shaving hang out here. If I didn't limit it to 5 we'd all be in trouble.

    My list contains mostly just razors way too expensive for me to buy:

    - BBS1
    - RR Wunderbar Slant
    - PAA DOC Evolution
    - ATT Open Comb Slant

    Then it would be fun to try at some point:
    - Rolls razor

    Nothing too unobtainium, but most out of the range I can afford to buy for the foreseeable future:

    - Gillette Toggle
    - Gillette Sheraton/Senator
    - Late 40's Gillette Aristocrat
    - British OC Tech
    - Bakelite Tech

    Assuming we're talking about Razors that actually exist...

    1930's Aristocrat OC
    Wolfman .86mm (OC or Straight)
    Timeless 0.95mm OC scalloped
    Rocnel & Barbaros Adjustable
    Charcoal Goods Aggressive
    ATT H1 or H2

    I know, I cheated and listed 6.

    My unicorn would probably be a stainless steel adjustable with a barber pole handle, open comb, and blade gaps that match the Futur, with blade angles the match the Fatboy.

    jtspartan appropriately stimulated, via Netflix

    Based on the fact that all of my vintages are Gillette or Injectors-

    Cooper Monobilt- they just look so cool
    Aristocrat OC or one of the other early Gillette OC/TTOs- just don't have one
    Wolfman OC- Shout out to a fellow Western Canuck
    Barbasol Floating Head- seems to get some unique reviews and I don't see them for sale very often
    One of my currents replated by Delta Echo- don't know if this counts 'technically', but I just love the look of the ones I've seen

    Hm...

    1. That fancy, high-dollar Anglo-American Aristocrat
    2. A Senator
    3. A President
    4. A double-ring, I guess
    5. A Gem lather catcher

    I reckon that's it.

    Lots of Fat Boys here.

    That's surprising...

    I would like to try a few different slants.
