Name your top rated DE razors.

All of minre are vintage Gillette. Sorry, can’t help with anything modern.

But if you’re talking vintage, then:
Gillette Old Type
Gillette Slim
Gillette Senator
Gillette Tech
Oh and the SuperSpeeds too
 
I'll play although you have this in the Straight Razor forum and probably should be in the DE forum...........

Rockwell 6s
Game Changer .84 OC
Raised Flat Bottom
Gillette Nacet Razor
Gillette Fatboy
Gillette Redtip
Timeless SS .68 OC
Charcoal Goods Level 2

Probably forgetting some..........
 
Game Changer .84
Gillette Old Type
Gillette Aristocrat / Milord
Gillette FatBoy
Gillette Slim
 
Out if the razors I currently own...my favorite my far is my daily driver...a Merkur Progress. A very smooth efficient and adjustable DE. I am also a big fan of my Psycho Tech with a sharp blade. It's a really mild razor but with that sharp blade you can get a really smooth shave. Some will say that a Tech is a Tech, but I disagree. The Psycho Tech has a longer handle and is a tad heavier than most other Techs I have used before.

Out of Razor's that I have tried and do not currently own, the Rockwell 6s is definitely at the top.

There are a ton of guys around here who rave about the game changer though, but I have yet to try one. I'll get to it eventually.
 
Yuma
Gillette Fatboy
Rockwell 6S
Wilkinson Sticky
Gillette Tech
Gillette Old Type (Especially ABC, and US Army issue)

I’ve tried lots of other expensive new razors, and no DE tops these.
 
I can move this to the DE forum for better fit BUT a straight is my preferred razor...or a nice SE blade razor.
My favorite DE’s are vintage for several reasons, better shaves and affordability being two big ones. My top two would be
1940’s Gillette superspeed
Gillette aristocrat
Since there are a couple fancier versions of both of these I assume they would shave as well but be worth more and look better doing it so if given a chance I would grab one of those.
In my opinion though, everyone who is looking to get feed their RAD needs to put a basic 1940’s superspeed in their list. They aren’t expensive but they are very good
 
Quite a few Rockwell 6s fans here....

Im not a fan of heavy razors though

For me, it is the Karve Christopher Bradley razor. Sold off all the other razors within a few months, except for my Delta Echo Slim and a pre-War Tech.

PM me regarding a 6C.

Do you like light razors? I do! And the Yuma is great. And only about $8.

But the 6C isn’t much different from the 6S in relative weight.

Ive had a 6c in the past.

Never heard of a yuma. What does it look like? Pics?
