I'd say to look for a size and shape that you like(i.e.-5/8, 6/8, 7/8, square point, round point, etc.) and go from there. There are various threads in here about favorite razors, or just browse through the SOTD threads about what people are using every day. A lot of us like Dubl Ducks, Wade & Butchers, Pumas and many others. Of my vintage razors, I happen to be very fond of a T. Hessen-Bruch brand out of Germany.
