What type of razor do you use?

I have three DE razors. a Merkur HD, a Merkur Futur, and a lightweight alum Gillette. Oh - and an Electric Razor.

As I live in two places at the moment, one Merkur lives in one house, and the other, in the other. The Gillette is a travel item really - but shaves very well!

The electric doesn't get used much at all.

I've got a restored Henckels straight and several DEs. The straight is the best, and I have more coming. Collecting straight razors and quality briars may kill my checkbook! Crying or Very sad

Since shaving my beard off three weeks ago I now feel I can post here.
I use an old Gillette that I've had for 15 years with the standard twin blade inserts.

I found BoB via my other main hobby forum, Badger & Blade so I have owned my fair share of razors of all types. I currently primarily use straight razors but still own one Old double edge by Gillette.

I have a bunch of Gillettes. The prize of my collection though I received today in the mail. A MINT #66 in the case. Not a spot on it. I plan to put it in the rotation with the rest of them. Very Happy
