Over the years I've seen a variety of posts discussing top 5 or 10 razors, or desert island razor, but I'm taking a slightly different approach.  Regardless of the size of your collection, which razor would you be happy to use every day, and if you missed a day shaving or wanted an especially close shave which one razor would be the "one"?

In my quest for the ultimate shave I have found two razors that would make me happy for the rest of my life.  I am using them more and more, and not missing any of my other razors.  For an everyday great razor:  Haircut & Shave Titanium Polished P076 SB.  For my close as I dare shave razor:  Wolfman Titanium WR1 .86 SB.  What are your two razors?  (I hope I am not intrigued by the responses; whereby, I end up buying more razors.  That would be terrible.)

Paradigm SE for everyday and for the other choice, a new addition, the Stirling HA.
Although after eight years in the hobby I now only have four razors

I shave almost every day and I like efficient razors. When I want more efficiency I might most likely reach for the Blackbird SS OC, Wolfman SS WR2 1.55 SB, or the Yates TI EH. For single edge razors the Occam’s Enoch gets the nod.

Favorite aggressive:  Blackbird (but I don’t know if I’d call it aggressive)
Favorite Everyday: all razors I own could be a daily driver but if I voted for best all-around razor (price, comfort, ease of use, easy to find, etc) it would be the Merkur 34C.  I’d be perfectly happy using that inexpensive razor daily.  (But I don’t have to so I’m not going to.)

I don’t know why anybody would have a favourite razor that they find to be aggressive, which I take to mean harsh, uncomfortable, or liable to cause injury. I think there are razors that can give an extremely efficient and close shave while still not feeling aggressive - I do not accept that aggression is a price you have to pay for high efficiency. I do like both mild and highly efficient razors, however, so I will answer on that basis.

My current choice for a mild razor would be the Wolfman WR2 0.95 SB, though it is also pretty efficient for me.

For a highly efficient razor I would choose the Wolfman WR2 1.55 SB, which also gives me a reliably comfortable shave.

For a combination of both I would choose the Lambda Ares v2 - capable of giving a very efficient shave with no distress at all to my skin.

It's a pretty interesting topic for a thread. 
   I went from shaving every 2 or 3 days to everyday if I choose because of work and a shoulder replacement both.
   The daily shaving razor is where I'm still wondering around through my razors.
 I have no clear decision on The daily, I prefer efficient razors at the same time want my skin to recover from day to day. I'm kind of looking at the Vector and Blackbird arena plus other ones.
  For the every few days or the efficient ( which some people refer to as aggressive) I'm with some of you other fellows Wolfman WR 1.55 SB TI, Haircut and Shave 1.30 TI, and again the Blackbird TI, and nothing gets it off as quick I believe as the Charcoal Goods level 3 0C possibly. 
    I didn't do a very good job of narrowing it down to two razors but those are my thoughts.
  I'm kind of in the middle of the main theme behind this thread, a daily razor and multiple days efficient razor.
Let's see what I can learn here.

Point taken on my use of the term "aggressive." A very efficient, very close shave is what I had in mind. Just shy of harsh. Harsh would be too aggressive.
