Since it looks like I'll (probably) never see Texas again, yup. Edit: I should have explained...my bad...they're all safe & sound at my son's house. I'd given the entire collection to my middle grandson (oldest got my coin collection, youngest got my old coffee pots). It's just that Texas is being ate up with the coronavirus, and my daughter in law lost her grandmother to it. There were hard feelings when I left prior to the "lockdown", and when WHO announced "pandemic", I was seen as a threat to his family due to all my running around all over God's desert. The numbers there are crazy; where I'm at, there are only 19 reported cases and no deaths. I'm still running Texas plates on my car, on foreign soil, so I keep a low profile and try not to "stir the pudding", if you get my drift. But I can't risk going back.
i am sorry to hear.thankfully they are replaceable and you can pick out your absolute favorites..if you are going to stay minimalist and have just a couple.i would recommend i british new rfb 2 piece or 3 piece.my favorites out of the 70+ gillettes i have..they can be a little pricey,but you don't need to have a cased one.usually in the $100 range cased and decent.if i had to ditch my collection i would keep my rfb's..new sc is a close second.

My 5 favorite safety razors in no order are: Wolfman WR1 polished SS with Darwin handle Apollo Eclipse Ever Ready GEM 1912 Raw 18 I had to leave a few off, but 5 is 5. I am not sure I really have a top 5, more like top 10. Any day, one of the other favorites could replace these. Steve
I have a few razors. I'm not going to write them out. Instead, I'll list my top 5 in terms of comfortable, efficient shaves. FYI: they're all vintage Gillette. President '34 Aristocrat Diplomat RFB 3 piece RFB 2 piece
