    Default Your Favorite Razor!

    If you have time - how about a pic of your favorite. If you like include your reasons why, any history or fun stuff about it, where you got it, etc etc.

    Im kinda new - so my singing Dovo is my really only razor so its my favorite now heh. But i will be purchasing a few more in the upcoming weeks and Id like to see what you all prefer for my 2nd one.

    I've got to include two, my first two. The Böker shown below is the first razor I bought. It has the Pakkawood scales shown on it and David Uthe put it together and honed it up to perfection for me. It's a super shave and the new paddle strop I got from Tony Miller compliments it beautifully.

    The second is the first razor I recieved, $15 from ebay, and the first I shaved with so it will hold a special place in my heart. It's a Dubl Duck Special Number 1. The ad said it was from the 20's, but the seller told me it was his father's during WW I. Since I can't confirm Bresduck's existence before the 30's, I think he's mistaken and it's actually from sometime between then and 52.

    I have only one (one extra will be purchased in due time)

    I have a DOVO Inox ss chrome.

    I will not buy a french blade. Reason, I supported England in the previous centuries during those wars. Cannot stand the sound of the language and having a few classes a week for 5 years didn't help either. ------> pure illogical emotions

    Guess I will try to find a nice Sheffield one day.
