OK, I'll play: I prefer 3-piece razors. I have a few TTO DE's and they are just too mild for my taste. 1) Gold Matador Toro Mastiff Close Comb Double Edge Razor - Corto - ACQUIRED 2014 - PAID $25 This is a fairly aggressive razor (my heaviest & most aggressive DE), so is not my daily shaver. I get excellent close shaves from it & love both the weight and the way it looks 2) Sabi 3-piece - chrome (3 inch handle, medium weight)- ACQUIRED 2011 - PAID $12 http://theshaveden.com/forums/attachments/hpim0350-jpg.14319/ This is what I would call a mildly aggressive DE razor. Lately it is my daily driver 3-5 days per week, especially if I shave with the Matador the other 2-4 days that week. 3) Sabi 3 Piece Extra Heavyweight - Gold tone (4 inch handle, 4 ounces)- ACQUIRED 2011 - PAID $14 http://theshaveden.com/forums/attachments/sabi-extra-heavyweight-jpg.16691/ This is a moderately aggressive DE. For a long time (several years) it was my go to razor; my everyday shaver (until I got the Matador) The gold tone has worn on it to the point that it looks like a vintage razor, but it still gives an excellent shave. I believe that all three of these DE razors were made by the same manufacturer in India - who also makes the Cadet, Pearl, RazoRock, etc. razors. They are a great value if you like the slightly agressive geometry of the heads. POSTSCRIPT I have a Remei 3-piece DE razor (made in China) - ACQUIRED 2015 - not used until 2017 This one is my least aggressive 3-piece, and is currently competing for a spot in the regular rotation. AND it cost under $4 shipped. Is this a great life - or what?

I'm an oldie but newbie to the Shave Den. Grew up with a slim. I have an Aristocrat and a New. Love the shaves I get with both. The New is more aggressive and the Aristocrat gives me the most comfort with no nicks or weepers. So for now, 1. Aristocrat - 1946-47 2. New - 1935-36 I only have two - wonder what I should buy next? Any advice from the membership?
