What are your top three De safety razors?

[SpeedyPC]

3. Remington DE - just got this at an antique show. Not even sure what model it is? It's pretty nasty and needs a good clean. Not sure if I'm ready to rip it apart or just spend $35 plus postage and sending it to an expert?

 

[Julyan]

probably

Athena Ti , bronze, SS (basically lightest to heaviest)

assuming this is one entry, the other 2 are harder to pick.

i guess the Apex-Ti and the Oliworks - M3teorite.

tho many of my other razors could swap in i guess it is going to depend on the day

Only own four DE’s and I think two are going out the door so shouldn’t comment

After a little reading on boards, found out that I do not have a Remington DE. It's a Gillette. Plz forgive the newb

Found a link to Gillette DE razor date codes and determined it is a 1964 Gillette Slim. Everything works on the razor

[Gairdner]

DE89/R89
7 o'Clock Bakelite Tech
R41

Not necessarily in that order as my last shave with the R41 on my iKon Bulldog handle was superb and I think it may be my new favourite. Ultimately, I'll be selling or getting rid of every other razor I own because those three do it all and I need to simplify my life.

I owned a Gillette Slim Adjustable and Merkur Progress adjustable.
Both good.Never used them much.
I bought the Gillette new in 1978 in a little drugstore.
