I normally use the Mach 3 blades, so I figure I might want to try the new Fusion 5 blades. Only problem with this is there aren't many "good looking" modern shave sets with Fusion blades. Many brands haven't upgraded to the Fusion blades yet.
Check out my going to be soon retired $350 Penhaligon's Mach 3 shave set: http://www.shavemyface.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44865
I told my dear wife that I was thinking about getting one of these 3 sets. She said she in fact did get me one of these three! She still won't tell me which set she bought me but I have a good feeling I think I know which one. I'll know in a couple more days when the box arrives in the mail.

Of the 3 above, which one would you pick? And why? And please do not suggest any other shave set from another brand. That is not my question on hand.
My choice would be the TwinLuxe shave set because I think it's the most beautiful modern shave set I've ever seen. I have a good feeling this is the shave set my wife bought me, but I'm not 100%. If she got me the Hommage or Acqua di Parma, I'd be happy with either of them though.
One thing I am quite anal about is having a shave set where the brush hangs down so no moisture and mildew collect in the brush hair. And another thing is having the razor facing upward in the stand so excess water drains down away from the blades. So that's another reason why I prefer the TwinLuxe shave set amongst these 3 among other reasons.
How do my fellow SMF'ers feel?
