As we near the end of the year I thought it would be interesting to have a cross-forum (to gather as much data as possible) across ATG, TSR and TSD poll to crown the Razor of 2016.
What is the "Razor of 2016"?
It's the razor (in each category) that YOU feel was the most successful, new introduction into the market this year.
So what can be included?
The definition of 'razor' here will be either a complete razor such as the Rx Asylum - or a razor head such as the "El Jefe" that have not been release before.
Handles alone - such as, say, Windrose handles, are not, for the purpose of this poll, considered a razor.
If a razor was introduced this year with multiple options w/ heads and handles (such as the Timeless) simply select the name of the razor. No need to go into every possible permutation as that would be too cumbersome.
If a razor was introduced prior to 2016 but this year came out with, say, a new base plate I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's significant enough to include.
What if I don't actually own the razor I want to vote on but feel really strongly about it?
By all means - vote on it. Sometimes how a product is perceived is just as interesting as how it performs.
What if the razor I might want to vote on is not out yet?
I know we have the Rocca, the Parker adjustable, the B&R adjustable, etc, coming out w/in the next few months but w/ it being only seven weeks left of the year I thought it was time to put this up to gather as much input as I could
Note: I'll leave this poll open on all forums until Dec 9th when entries will be closed. I'll tally up the votes and we'll see what three(?) razors rises to the top. Feel free to go back and EDIT your vote until that time should you change your mind/a new razor came out.
What categories can I vote in?
For the sake of keeping it simple you can cast three votes:
1) DE razor of 2016
2) SE razor of 2016 (I know this is sacrilege but this also includes injector razors)
3) Overall best-of-show razor (can be a ANY type of razor as long as it made its first entry onto the market in 2016). This is the razor you personally think was THE razor that you'll remember the most from this year.
Note: You can vote for the same razor more than once (it can be, say, both the best DE and the best-in-show razor)
What not to do
You might hate every single razor released this year and that's fine - but try to restrain from commenting/discussing in the thread to keep it as clean as possible so no votes gets lost. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads for that anyway
That's it and this is of course all just for entertainment purposes so have fun with it and don't take it too seriously.
To help with some ideas here is a selection of the razors that were introduced during 2016 - note it's not a complete list just something to start from when you look back at the year.

If I could only own one razor, it would be the General.
