Favourite razors?

[Sandalwoody]

Having started DE razor shaving not so long ago, I have tried around a dozen razors. My stand out top 3 are:

- Henson AL13++ perfect balance between efficiency and ease of use for me
- Rockwell 6s - I rarely buy into glowing feedback/hype but this really is superb. Backplate 3 for most occasions. Very close between this and the Henson.
- Muhle Rocca. A bit more aggressive for 2+ days of growth. Fantastic, clean shave and a very elegant looking razor

2: Blackland Vector (I like it so much I brought two)
3: Mongoose.
4: Charcoal Goods Brass Stinger.

Rockwell 6S / karve C plate / tatara masamune.

Stando rod / Blackland vector / razorock hawk.

 

[NotTheStig]

Fatboy (even though I hate the name, but Mk. I Gillette Adjustable is too long and uncommon)

Neo Lux Schrägschnitt

Wilkinson Sword Sticky

QShave Futur clone (honestly it is really good for me)

My favourite razor is the Muhle R41GS - the best shave I've ever had.

The "1 only" razor I usuly recommend is the Rockwell 6S as it's so verstaile and will last a lifetime.

Best budget razor has to be from the Fatip range - whichever model suits you.

Honorable mentions for being just damn good razors which are built to last go to:

Edwin Jagger 3ONE6
Muhle Rocca
Executive Shaving Outlaw

Those all sit at a price point where, although not cheap, I think overall you are getting the best bang for you buck.

I haven’t even heard of many of those razors. Clearly led a sheltered life…!

Reassuring to see Muhle Rocca on there more than once though.

Nearly spat out my coffee when I read this:

Blackland Vector (I like it so much I brought two)

I looked up the razor and it is stainless steel!

Muhle Rocca. I'm pretty happy with that, I've got a Gillette aristocrat junior which I use now and again and quite like.

They do a Titanium version of the Vector as well.
