Favorite razor

Favourite but now a “show pony” my Gillette Aristocrat Gen 1 replated in Rhodium, she’s a beauty, though for a vintage shave my 2 piece (Set 88) or ABC razor just edge it out for smoothness and closeness of shave!! YMMV.

My favorite razor is usually the one I am using at the time. This week it is my Gillette NEW Short Comb.

Love layout Mate. Superb.
 
At the moment it’s the plain old EJ DE89 or RazorRock GOAT. I’ve tried this, that and the next thing but always return to the humble DE89. It just works every time without fail. I seem to prefer the standard, inexpensive DE89 compared to the all-stainless 80th anniversary R89. The corners on the base plate of the latter are too sharp and uncomfortable.
