Thread: Favorite Razor?

I'm bouncing between two makes at the moment, Ducks and W&B's. Some of the heavy duty blades apeal to me as I like heavy kitchen knives as well (cleavers). It will be interesting to see where this all goes

whichever one's the sharpest and smoothest.

Out of 5 my favourite is the Dovo 5/8 Bismarck. My first and, as yet, unsurpassed. Not even my TI beats it for weight, feel, and shave. The Dovo seems to have everything right in terms of balance, weight, and design.

At the end of the day, its this one.

I was looking at the Dovo Bismark, either 5/8 or 6/8. It just looks like a nice razor. The blade I have now came with a Col. Conk starter set that had the razor, strop and stone.

Vintage Blades has some nice Bismarcks. Its proprietor is a member.

he does have some nice blades. I like that white bone bismark 7 day set, now I just need to come up with the cash. well my baby doesn't need diapers

Easy-peasy: my favorite razor is my Robert Williams custom

Why? - because it's edge is velvet (broke my rating system), balance is great, and I participated in the design. It is also very nice to know that Robert hand-hammered it (vs. ground it from a blank). It was made for me - I can't say this of any other razor

Yep! At present, it's my "nothing special" Dovo 5/8 -- it's the sharpest and easiest to handle.

Although, the edge starting to get a little tired from daily use. Hopefully, my Lynn-honed Wapi gets here soon!

So far my 7/8 Silversteel TI has beat the crap out of anything else. The only thing that comes close is a 6/8 Silversteel worldmaster or the Macero that I traded for a strop with Bobbo (I got the strop he got the razor).
