There are dozens of safety razors out there, but I think this is one of the best all-around models I've seen.

The quality in the details of this razor are apparent immediately on inspection.

Hand-tooled in Solingen, Germany by Merkur, manufacturers of fine quality precision shaving instruments since 1906.
