I have many others but these are my regular rotation.
I have two Merkur's - an 11C open comb, and another long handle, closed comb that I am not sure I ever knew what the model was lol.
I need to add another...
I use DEs on and off so I have no real rotation, just kind of what I feel like using. Its either the R41 or the feather Stainless or the Tradere OC or jaeger barleycorn.
ShropshireShaver,
GEM Micromatic Open Comb GEM Stainless PTFE coated blades
Ever-Ready 1912 GEM Stainless PTFE coated blades
Schick Injector E3 Ted Pella Injector blades
Gillette 88 (two (2) piece, long comb) Feather / Russian Gillette 7'o Clock (Yellows) / Iridium Super
Have fun !
Best regards

I use my Futur the most. From time to time I use my progress or Gillette Slim. I also use SE razors from time to time, mostly my 1912 and my Valet autostrop.
Gentlemen, I split my shaves between the straight razor and the double edge, with most shaves going to the straight. The double edge razors are used in no particular order. The active razors include: Joris, Feather stainless steel, EJ Barley, Merkur Progress, Merkur 34C, Merkur 11C (open comb version of the 34C), Muhle R89, FaTip, EJ Chatsworth in faux ivory, Gillette Fatboy, Aristocrat, Red Tip, New Open Comb and Knack. Of the group I use the Joris and the Feather most, it seems — two completely opposite razors. Go figure.
When I'm not using a SR. I mix it up with a murkur HD, a Gillette super speed. Gillette travel tech. And my current favorite, my GEM feather.
Well, The Cobra is not a DE, but somewhat of an SE.
Weber
The Pils
EJ89
Single Ring
Open-Comb Aristocrats
I'm currently using:
1964 Gillette Fat Boy
Merkur 38C Barber Pole
Merkur 37G Slant (thanks celestino!)
Parker 22R
My fatboy is in my regular rotation when I don't have time for a straight shave. I'm drawn more and more to more aggressive razors, so my single edge Gem sees a lot of use also, as does my Old Type Gillette.
I dont shave steady with a DE and dont have many to make a rotation anyway. I only have 2 DE's
60's Gillette FatBoy
Feather AS-D1 Stainless steel
I love them both for there different characteristics.
About three days a week I use a safety razor instead of a straight because of schedule and time. I use a fatboy, '46-47 Aristocrat, new open comb, EJ barley; GEM jr. 1912. I use a different one each week. My favorites are the EJ barley, Aristocrat and GEM.
I only have one left and a halfbreed. Sold all of my Gillette's (diplomats, presidents, fat boys, etc....) My Merkur HD39 and Cobra Classic have kind of spoiled my desire to try or use other razors.
Right now I go between a 1938 Gillette Canadian Tech, a 1948 Gillette Aristocrat, and a 1959 British Gillette Rocket. My favorite is the '38, the only one of the three that is not a TTO.
Edwin Jagger DE89, Merkur Futur and Merkur 34C, amongst others, but these ones are the ones that I use the most.
R41 Grande, 58 Fatboy, 3 Open comb Gillettes and a Gem SE
