Some of my favorites high end razors are my H&S (haircut&shave), Chiseled Face, Henson and Homelike Shaving. They are quality razors that give me superb results.

That's actually really good advice. I did buy most, if not all of my Timeless from their scratch and dent section. I bought a razor with a spiral handle in titanium but did come with the crown handle. I didn't plan on keeping it until I saw it in person. Just in case the suspense is killing anybody, I kept it.

The Carbon Cx-316L is a must. Chiseled Face makes a beautiful razor but titanium or brass.

Are you looking for a high end razor in terms of price or in terms of shaving results/experience? If latter, then you don't have to spend a fortune. For example, Fairschenkt GreenCult 2.0 and Stando (in my case) Chors are excellent shavers made out of stainless steel. I have both and I am completely satisfied with them. Still, instead of Chors, you may prefer one of the other Stando models with smaller gap (such as Zoria, Mara or Morana):

I’m looking for a high end razor in terms of a combination of being very well crafted, precision made, having the type of look I would expect from a high end razor and finally being able to provide a great shaving experience. 

I’ve never heard of Fairscenkt razors and Stando razors before. 
Will have to check them out. Thanks for the tip.

I don’t necessarily need to own all high end razors, I just would like to own a good deal of the razors, that enthusiast will consider high end razors or very well crafted precision made razors. If you actually can get high quality precision made very well crafted DE razors for affordable prices in this day and age, I’ll most certainly be interested in supporting such a razor manufacturer, that’s for sure.

I own and really enjoy using the razors you have mentioned in your collection, i.e rockwell, Rocca, 3one6. I also have a few other higher end razors that give me a similar result, I have tried many many more that just did not suit me.

Taking into account what I have read in some of your other posts, you don‘t want an adjustable and are not interested in 2nd hand razors. You can drop Charcoal goods from the list as well as 2 of my favourites, i.e Rex Konsul and ATT SSRH.

A few razors I am confident you will love:
- Blackland Blackbird (every hobbyist MUST try this at some stage. My favourite material is brass)
- Haircut and Shave Ti efficient (wow)
- Blutt (from Switzerland. Nothing under the most efficient of the options please)
- Wolfman WR1 0.61 SB (the „standard“ gap and, regardless of what anyone says, efficient enough for any beard. Wait about 3 months but hey, you have time)
- Maybe a Karve with D and E SB plates

From Rocnel I only had the adjustable. A heavy beast of a razor. I hear the Elite is quite good but no idea about ordering, availability etc.

Timeless .95 SB another option and my tip for delivery to an EU address: order from Maggards

Another nice one readily available in the EU is the design 94. I prefer the others in my list above though.

Have fun Smile

You might take a look at the Apollo by "Smart Helix" made in Urkraine. They look to be a beautiful razor and have a unique base plate that is reversible providing two different shaving experiences. The options include a matching razor stand.

Thanks a lot for your reply. 

It’s replies like that I’m looking for. 

As you say I’m not into adjustable razors at all nor second hand razors. 

I owned a complete 3 razor pack of Above The Tie, but unfortunately sold all my DE razors back in 2016. 

I’ll give the Rex Envoy a chance too later this summer if I can find a good deal on a new one in Europe.

Do you happen to know what happened to the Tradere brand ? I see a Tradere razor on the Blackland site, but I owned two Tradere SS razors back in 2015/2016, but sold them a long all my other DE razors in 2016.

I also owned the Mongoose SE, what a great SE razor it was.
I was an idiot selling all my DE/SE razors in 2016, you live and learn.

Living on the edge
The only problem is if you buy a Sailor by Rocnel, you won't feel like buying any razors for quite a while.
I just ventured into a Carbon CRX (webbed plate) which is great.
Barbaros and Lambda might interest you. Both high quality.
I just can't get into buying every new razor to try...although it's certainly easier if
you live in the US

You also have the Rex Ambassador and Konsul razors.
