Whare your 3 razors you like most the shave with? Vintage only please + or - 100 Year

Personally I like to find old Vintage razors on E-Bay in very good shape get a bit of varnish off of the them sharpen them up and shave with them, I ONLY have 4 out of 19 that are "Name brand" A Genco Grant, 2 Wade butchers, and a Joseph Wostenholm&Sons "Ebro"
Pensance? sp Works. And G. Wostenhom " no pipe"mark. So far in the rotation is a Wade & Butcher, a Worcester out of Worchester, Mass. and hardware razor named Dizons Cutlery "Germany". So whats yall's Best vintage razor to shave with or are getting in the process to put into the rotation? I really what to try my Wm. Elliot &Sons straights as I got them Practically brand new. "Very Little to no hone wear".

My three favorites are:
George Wostenholm
Gilchrist
Manhattan Cutlery Co.

All 6/8 or larger.

My top one is easy:
1. A Joseph Rodgers and sons late 1800s near wedge

Next two are tougher, but they would be:
2. Late 1800 Greaves wedge (on the right)

3. Plain Jane 6/8 wade and butcher wedge from 1870ish. No picture of that one:(

3??? Just 3???? I have about 70 equal first favourites!

I don't think I can take this kind of pressure!

filarmonica doble temple #13, Case Red Imp full hollow spike & Torrey near wedge... easy :)

why only old though? I have a brand new Thiers Issard (cheapy came in a beginner set) that is in my top 3 razors as well
