Micromatic Open Comb - if you haven't tried one of these, you're missing out! They aren't nearly as aggressive as people make them out to be. It's a different sensation compared to a DE razor, but it's oh-so-good.

My favorite GEM razor. If used properly, it is a very efficient, but comfortable razor. I think that the edge feel takes some people by surprise.
