I meant popular in the sense of what people think would be the best for them to own for shaving purposes.

Luc, I like what you're doing. This seems like a good way to begin thinking about this.
Vote! Vote! Vote! +1

What about Milwaukee and Madison? They're not from the south but they seem to like voting more than once.

Now that's a good question. I agree, they are very different.
This should not be like Family Feud in which the contestants are trying to guess what the most popular answer is. Instead, say what you like. The results of all the answers will tell us what is the most popular, at least for those participating in the poll.
I guess I don't the see the value of group #1 when it includes razors so unlike each other. Folks who would have choosen one of these razors won't want to vote for this whole group.
Same thing with group #2 . . . no one would want to vote for these diverse razors as a group either.
In group #4, I also don't feel most people who would choose either a New or a New Improved would want to vote on a catagory that included such diverse razors as these two types are. By the way, Krumholz doesn't group these two types of razors together.
Some of the other groups, such as group #12 also include such diverse razors that I really don't feel many people will be able to relate to them either.
Perhaps I'm not understanding what you are trying to determine with such a poll, but I don't feel it will be of any statistical value due to many people not really having a reasonable choice that represents their favorite razor.

The value is that each is a category to cover those razors within it. This is not supposed to be a vote for the whole group, but a way to find popular razors. You are voting for your razor by identifying which of those groups it belongs to. If it turns out that one of these groups has a very large vote count than a subsequent poll can sort that out.
This shouldn't be thought of as a competition where you are loath to put in a vote that might give an "advantage" to some other razor. It is a first-pass wide swipe at narrowing things down. Think of it as reduction instead of removal.
Again, why would someone not want to vote for the group that includes their favorite razor?
re Krumholz: My original list broke the Gillettes down further (alal Krumholz) but we are limited to the number of items in a poll. Again, if a group gets a large number of votes it will be interesting to break that down in a subsequent poll. If a group only has, say 3%, of the votes we can forget about it.
Same comments as above.
Name a razor that doesn't have a reasonable choice. I am not being facetious, but if there is a substantial set of razors that doesn't fit into the above we need to rethink it. If there is some odd-ball razor (e.g. an Enders) there is the "other" category. One category I can think of that isn't mentioned but probably can be squeezed into "other old" are the various Gillette "clones" from Germany and other places.
