Your best shave razor?

I still haven't tried all the razors in my collection yet, but my favourite so far is the Rocket HD. If I had to keep just one that would be it. I like it so much I'm tempted to get it restored and replated.
 
I find my best shave comes from my J4 Gillette Slim Adjustable. Runner-up, surprisingly, is the Parker 26C open-comb razor. And this is out of about 20 active-use razors that I own.
 
My personal all time vintage favourites would have to be the #15, #16, #21 followed by the #66, #58 and Fatboy Gillettes. For modern, current production models, I'd have to go with the blackbird, Wolfman OC/SB, ATT S1/S2, Mergress and finally the AS-D2. I own all the ones listed and cannot comment on any that I haven't tried....yet :)
 
If one was looking at an absolute basic setup, IMHO, nothing beats the canadian or british tech head mated to a heavier handle. Provides a great shave and a truly time-proven design that's been copied and modified time and time again.
