Thread: Current safety razor rotation

Hi all,

I just interested what safety razors people currently use in their rotation?

I use:
Fatboy
Gillette Black Beauty
Edwin Jagger DE89
Merkur Progress

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

Russ

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.
