.......do you have?? You know, the one that you shave with and then say, "I could use this one everyday". But you don't cuz another catches your eye.

Then, using another razor, you find yourself saying the same thing again.

As for me, I have 3 that I say that about. First is my Weber DLC with classic handle. When I first got it I thought nothing could top it. And it is still a fantastic shaver that I'll never part with.

Second is my Parker Variant. For me it's one of the best ever, always providing a wonderful, comfortable shave and I'll never part with this one either.

Third is my franken razor. A EJ DE87 head with a Scotch & Stowe handle that looks like the Maggard MR5 handle. A great easy shaver combo that treats my face well and provides marvelous shaves.

Of course, I've got a bundle of other razors and most provide excellent shaves and I don't hesitate to use them. I just use my top 3 more.

So, the question is, "How many of these type razors do you have"?

The Fatip Gentile (gentle head) is a great razor. Milder SB version of their open comb. All brass, made in Premana, Italy. I love it with a sharp blade. Smooth as silk. Happy2

My first razor I felt this way about was my Merkur 34HD. It just gave me such great shaves.

Next I felt the same way about my ATT S1 after its acquisition and it was the first luxury razor I owned.

As it stands now my absolute favorite razor is a Timeless .68 SB. I got rid of the Merkur and added an S2 ATT to go along with my S1. Although I have also added a Wolfman .61 WR1 and it along with my Above The Tie Slants are some of my favorites, The Timeless outshines them all and is my all time favorite razor.

I have a 3 razor rotation. Above The Tie M2, Blackbird, and Wolfman. I would be happy with any of them as my only razor.
