I've been shaving with a DE razor for many years.  I had an affair with a few Cobras and vintage razors some years ago, but otherwise been faithful to modern DE razors.  Now to my question.  I have 10 razors, with 7 in regular rotation.  The ATT Bronze (3 baseplates) with a Triad handle, ATT Slant, and Charcoal Goods with 3 baseplates look good, but no longer used by me.  In regular rotation, from most to least enjoyed :  Stainless WR1 .74SB, Blackbird SB, Tatara Masamune Nodachi Cap SB w/Masamune handle, Stainless WR2 1.25SB, Stainless WR1 .67SB, Stainless BBS-1, Stainless WR1 .61SB.  What razors should I be looking at to complete my collection?  I want a DE in current production, and one that would fit me. (That's why I included my collection in descending order of enjoyment.)

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Show off! Jk that sounds like an incredible collection. Honestly, based on the razors you’ve listed, you’d definitely enjoy almost any razor from haircut & shave.

You already have the Nodachi, so there’s nothing left that’s better. You’re done. ;-).
Nodachi = my RAD killer. I’m done too.

Try a Yates. See thread in this forum.

2nd for the Yates with an H plate

I've not had a chance to use a Wolfman yet (on waitlist) but in terms of the more available razors, we have the same taste. I love the Blackbird and the Nodachi. 

Based on your feedback, I'm inclined to try a wr1 .74 for my first Wolfman configuration in a few weeks, given that we seem to have the same taste in razors.

To your question, I can second the H&S po76 recommendation. It's excellent, and probably similar to your current #1 the wr1 .74. The only other one I can recommend is the Carbon with original plate. I really enjoy that one. In terms of the Carbon offerings, the original plate has the most blade exposure, which seems right up your alley.

Since you don't have an aversion to spending $$$ on a razor I'd suggest the Rex Ambassador adjustable.

I second the Carbon .68. My top razor

The Wolfman Stainless WR1 .74SB is incredibly smooth and efficient.  If I had only one Wolfman, that would be it.  Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback thus far. Not sure why I need another razor. What the hell, life is short.
