If you can have only one DE for the rest of your life.

What would it be and why?

I would keep my feather stainless steel DE because it gets the job done with no fuss.

Weber Stainless. Finest razor I have owned at a fair price, and it shaves with an efficiency and moderate aggressiveness I've yet to find in another shaver.

Merkur HD (34c)- The size and weight are perfect. The shave is not too mild or too aggresive. It's the best razor for me.

Agree with Dennard, Merkur HD hands down.

My birth year Red Tip. I like having something around that's as old as I am.

merkur slant

Merkur 38c barberpole for me!

Edwin Jagger DE89L for me. It just works.

Right now it's my Futur, but my slant is a close second

Thought, I'd make it replate in Rhodium because I don't trust the original plating for the long run.

My Weber Bulldog ARC narrowly beats out my pre-war Fat handled Tech.

Gillette Fat Handled Tech with several different handles to choose from!

Edwin Jagger DE89 Barley. Nothing historic, nothing fancy, it just works.

Single Ring
Preferably Rhodium coated to last my life

Futur here.

Probably my SuperSpeed...but I don't have enough hardware experience to say definitively yet. I have a LOT of vintage razors to buy and try first. ;-)

I really need to start looking for a T1 birth year razor...I have a feeling that would be my favorite just for the 'birth year bond'.

fat handled tech ..everything nice and shiny no brassing no plate loss.., I'd be set

My Merkur 37C slant. Without a doubt. But the Tradere 2'nd gen OC would be a close 2'nd if I could hide it somehow...

Fatboy.
