Oh here we go. His head doesn't fit through standard sized doors as it is.

Rubbish, I just wear very large hat.
Anyhow, on topic. Which is best? At the moment I'd say it's a dead heat for me. Until I totally by accident found the DE razor (7 O'Clock bakelite) I really liked I would have given it to SEs. There are a few SE razors I like and can use such as the Featherweight, Bullet Tip, Clog Pruf and Streamline. On the other hand, inspite of the vast number of different DEs out there I haven't found any outside of my lightweight bakelite jobbie that I get on with. I've tried examples of each sort such as the three piece closed and open comb, TTO and adjustable and they just don't do it for me. The huge number of DE blades is fun to play around with.
I don't think I've ever had a bad shave from my Featherweight, which is more than I can say for any one of my DE razors. I just don't get the same level of enjoyment from it though, and the endless supply of DE blades to try keeps me away too.

ARKO! TERMINATOR!
The best shave I have every had since starting with DE razors is from my grandpa's Rocket HD using an Astra SP. Everything just came together that day.
