The only DE I ever use these days is a Merkur 34C aka the HD.
What I would have wished was my favourite razor, but I know of only one on the planet, and it's not for sale, is this one:
I have searched for years on Ebay and never seen one of these in *any* kind of shape, never mind a minty one.

Edwin Jagger closed comb "Chatsworth" is my only go to DE. I load feather blades. It gives a shave that is competitive with a str8. Easy to clean. A classic IMHO!

As far as I know, it is made by or called the Essor and is of French origin. The photos are by a chap on SMF who was oh so lucky and found one in remarkable condition.
In my search, I've seen quite a few Essor single edge razors, but never a DE.
Here's a couple more views....
I don't even know if I'd like shaving with it, but it sure looks cool!

My Edwin Jagger DE89 always gives a great performance. The thing is just fool proof.

I don't do a lot of safety razor shaving lately but I have a Gillette Adjustable ("fat boy"), a couple of New Types (long and short comb, both pretty aggressive), a Super Speed, a Tech, and a travel Tech (these last three very mild). I think they are all really cool.
But I also have an Old Type, and hands down for me the best shaver is the Old Type. Just the right balance, compact head for tight spots, super controllable. I think it was the height of design, a perfect razor of its type.
(Also kind of off topic -- I love the Rolls but that ain't no safety razor!)rolodave likes this.
