tough question, tough choices, so I guess I fail because I can't choose just one
wolfman, blackbird, 1934 aristocrat, EJ89. I can't just pick one since 2 razors I have been using for years and 2 razors have in the last 6 months moved out 2 razors in my rotation pulse I include in my rotation 2 SE's.

I must give due to the razor that started it all for me and a whole lot of other folks at the beginning of the wetshaving revival; The MERKUR HD.
It's well balanced, aggressive enough for a seasoned shaver yet forgiving to new users. There were some QC issues at one point and I never heard
of any resolution. Mine did suffer some early pitting on the baseplate edge. Oddly enough, my daily user; a Edwin Jaeger 89 has developed the
same issue and local. But for the price point a new user is hard pressed to find better. I will probably buy a replacement soon.

If you mean favourite, as in gives best shave, I would say BBS-1, hands down, both efficiency and comfort. However, if I could only keep one of my razors, I would still pick one of the Wolfmans, they still give a great shave but aesthetically I find them so much cooler. Brothers by another name anyway.

What is yours?
Feather AS-D2.
When it came into our household at the end of October, I had in my possession:
- An iKon DLC Slant;
- A Standard Razors razor;
- A Feather MR3 neo cartridge razor; and
- A Schick Hydro3 cartridge razor.
It’s a keeper.
