What are your top 5 Money is no object Razors?

Pils came up on this list a number of times for people and for me it was a beautiful razor that convinced me it was great, but it really wasn't.  It looks better than it shaves IMO.  I really wanted to be great, thought at one point it was, but finally I realized I was more enamored with the beauty of the razor than the shave.  

This was my experience as well, so much so, that I had two of them.  

I share your experience.  I had one, sold it, then saw another for a great price and got it again.  I later sold it.

Oh my God! I am awaiting a PILS purchased new on the manufacturer website. Reading to your posts makes me feel

This razor is quite controversial: you hate it or love it. Keep it or sold it rather quickly.

I didn't buy my PILS for the look (it looks like a tank, it probably is too heavy) but for the blade design (flat) that I was very curious to test.  But I am expecting a miracle since my tastes are sometimes at the very opposite of other wet shavers. Nothing arrogant here. I fully respect and take into account others' choices, opinions and tastes. For instance, Feather ASD2 is nice but I don't like it that much. ATT is fine (I own a Kronos M2) but I don't find it cutting edge. I may be schizophrenic. Or maybe I like atypical razors with singular personality (I love the Mongoose).

Ultimately, PILS may confirm that curiosity kills the cat. At the cost of 200 euros! I should have spent these 200 euros with a psychotherapist to put me back on the right track

New to traditional wet shaving coming from an electric razor and cartridge prior to that. Really liking wet shaving and have purchased only two razors, Edwin Jagger DE89 and the Feather AS-D2.  I like both of them.

The only people who can truthfully answer that question are those for whom money is no object. My wife informs me that money is THE object, so I can't answer.

I hear you. I've procured way to many razors and my SWMBO isn't happy about it. But as has been said - it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
