    <sigh>

    Since pondering the merits of the one-and-done (that's a 1 pass BBS (rf)(+tu) ... reasonable facsimile + touchups), I am reevaluating. I am sad to say that my pre-war fat handle Tech didn't perform that well in the O-n-D. I've loaned out my New, so I cautiously choose the Black Beauty.

    This O-n-D kick really has me questioning what I like in a razor. Recently, I am a little unsure... :signs002: :sport026:

    Fusion, just kidding. Actually this is a really hard decision as all my Gillettes are great. At the moment though I have to say my
    Slim razor. :)

    Yep. My NEW is my only OC. I currently own 5 razors, 2 straight bars, 1 slant, 1 OC, 1 adjustable. Both of my straight bars are on loan to my first DE convert right now, so I've been getting more familiar with the others.

    Same here on my NEW being my only OC. I had no idea it was OCtober til I saw your post. My "collection" btw is the same as yours, but I have no slant. I hope to remedy that before too long...

    If I was forced at gunpoint and my heirloom razors were exempt, it would be the Fat Boy.

    Really torn between my Gillette Big Boy and my Gillette Slim.
    I think that it may be the Slim with the slimmest of margins. :D

    The 1960 version of that was this morning's shaver for me. Great razor...I don't think Gillette ever really made a bad one.

    Tough one, either a pre-War Canadian Tech or a pre-War NEW LC.
