I really enjoy rotating through the following:

Futur
Muhle R89 Grande
Edwin Jagger DE 89L
Weber ARC
Progress

It is strange how I sometimes wake up wanting to use a specific razor!

In keeping with the ever-more rapidly revolving door of changing preferences, here's my current line-up of what we lovingly call "favorite" razors:

Ever Ready Streamline
A straight razor (one of a small group)
Noxzema/Kai Twin disposable razor
Barbasol floating head
Trac II

Others come and go, but the Barbasol never fails me. It has outlasted dozens of other razors on this list. Yesterday's shave reminded me of the Barbasol's prowess as an aggressive but quite smooth and effective shaving tool. (The same should also be said about my beloved straight razors.) One other comment regarding these different types of razors. The difference in the types of razors from day to day definitely keeps forcing me to pay close attention to my eye-hand technique with every stroke of every razor on my face. Taking my mind off what I'm doing for one second will generate negative results.

I mostly use the Cobra Classic. Sometimes my Weber DLC. When I travel I take a Merkur 1904 OC.

1960 Gillette Fatboy. Love it and use it almost everyday. I say almost because I dont shave on weekends

Right now I'm really hooked on my Muhle R41 (2013). A close second is the Black beauty.

Not exactly strange at all, at least not around here. It's good to see you still posting here, by the way. How's the straight razor endeavor working? Still at it, I hope?

This is my current rotation. I like all of them, although the Tech is struggling to stay in the mix.

Feather AS-D2
Wilkinson Sticky
Gillette Slim Adjustable
Schick Krona
Weber DLC/UFO Goliath brass
Goodfella Black Coated/UFO Goliath red bronze
Gillette Tech head/iKon Bulldog

Currently -

Shavecraft 101
a straight razor
Noxzema Kai Twin
Barbasol
Trac II

*note: there's an Ever Ready 1914 coming, and it'll get a spin to see if it's worthy. Actually, I'm going to revisit a small handful of my favorite SEs to see if any of them need to come back into the roundup.

Currently, the ones getting the most use are:

Toggle...rhodium
Futur...matte
Vision
iKon...2013
Feather
Paul Revere...SE

The Futur Four piece sets are a wonderful countertop addition IMHO

Well, my current fave is the Feather Samurai razor handle with a Feather MR3 cartridge blade.

I haven't used the Vision, Future or Barbasol, but have used just about everything else.
My current line-up in no particular order: These are the best of the best for me....

Merkur Digress & Mergress- gives me good shaves with several different blades. I just wish the head was a little smaller/thinner.
Vintage Gillette Deluxe head in different handles. Love these razors. Not as mild as most vintage Gillette razors. Good shaves.
Weber PH. More aggressive than other Weber PHs I've had. Shaves very close, but I must be careful. It is as good as the 2013 R41.
Merkur 37C slant is always a joy to use, but takes an extra pass.
Cobra Classic is a pleasure to use & fun, but does not give me a BBS shave in puberty blemish (acne scars) areas.(extra pass needed) My Mergress is best here.

FWIW,
Vic

I've moved back to milder razors. Favorites now are the Gillette Tech and the Mergress on lowest setting.

Mongoose is my definite favorite at this time, followed by the "Merkel" Slant and the GEM Micromatic Bullet-tip, which is actually the only razor I want and still haven't been able to acquire... Hopefully soon! :roll:

Among current designs I like the Mühles, but I am more and more gravitating towards vintage Gillettes, in particular adjustables.
