Objective: put all the cards in the trash as fast as possible.
Pick a kingdom of your choice, satisfying the recommended rules. Solo play, the shuffles always favor you, 0 <= #Events + #Landmarks <= 2, Colony (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Colony) and Platinum (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Platinum) are allowed if you have at least one randomizer card from Prosperity and required if all randomizers are from Prosperity; similarly for shelters.
I'm not sure that Black Market (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Black_Market) helps you; if you use it, some people like solutions that work online—bonus points for making them happy.
Hard mode: 2+ players, your opponents do nothing, you have trash all of their cards as well.
Rules reminder: if you trigger the game-end condition and buy Donate (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Donate) on the same turn, you never get to do the Donate thing. (That's a Dominion rule, not a this-particular-challenge rule.)

Normal: Build my infinite loop with Bonfire.
Hard: Pass her Copper, Cutpurse it, Pirate Ship it.

I've seen Qvist's "how to empty the supply in 5 turns", which uses Travelling Fair (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Travelling_Fair) and Donate (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Donate), plus the following loop: Overlord (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Overlord) as Crown (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Crown) five times, played as a self-trasher (he used Embargo (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Embargo), you proposed Raze (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Raze)), then Lurker (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Lurker) gaining Mandarin (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Mandarin) (trashing it with Watchtower (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Watchtower)), Lurker gaining Overlord back, Watchtower drawing cards, <your card of choice here>.
I take it you mean this solution? How quickly can you do it if you remove either Travelling Fair or Donate to make room for Bonfire (http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Bonfire)?
Hard: Pass her Copper, Cutpurse it, Pirate Ship it.
Does that change how quickly you can do it?

I posted just as a benchmark. My loop can use Raze as a trasher. Slow, I agree, but this is also a way. I think I need 20 turns or fewer.
