Thread: Your Favorite Razor

Of all the razors that you own, which one is your
favorite? If one day the Razor Gods decreed that
you could only own one razor, which one would
you keep?

I think I would keep my Genco. Not only was
it my first razor, but it's just a really good razor.
I would highly recommend them to anyone.

My pakistani solingen Actually I'd go with Taylor's for now, but my Satinedge is still being tuned/tested (and still needs new scales). After the coticle arrives, I'll see what I can do with both of these babies and then it may be a different story, but for now the Taylor Eye Witness is the best performer.

Probably my W&B 7/8" half hollow "The Celebrated Hollow Ground Razor". All my W&Bs are great shavers, but that one's probably my favorite.

13/16 Wade & Butcher with Ironwood scales. I don't say that lightly either. It took me 8 months to pick a favorite. It's just beautiful and an awesome shaver, easy to hone, great weight. yup.

There is something about Sheffield steel... I'll have to scour the oldtimers for one of those and also the garage sales/flea markets, to find myself a nice W&B piece.

Boy that is a tough one... Today I will say by Dovo 6/8 Horn scales but tomorrow it could be my puma or my W&B 7/8 wedge or even my 3/8 Dorko. I guess that is what is great about this. I love them all.

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. it seems everone that owns
a W&B is mentioning that razor. I definately want one of
one. Will keep an eye on Bill's page, I'm sure one will turn
up. He had one a few weeks ago and I kept looking at it.
Then one day i went back and it was SOLD. Shouldn't have
sit on my laurels, I should have acted froggy and jumped.
Then I would have a W&B.

The more razors you have the more difficult the answer is. I guess for me the Pierre Thiers Limited edition is the one.

Definitely a tough question. I like all my razors, and like Richz the favorite today may change tomorrow. Overall I like my Pumas the best, and of them the Puma 1938 hohl 5/8s. Although the Puma INOX 5/8s is a great one too. And then there's the Dorko also. Lets just say I have more than one favorite razor.lol

My new Dubl Duck Dwarf is my favorite this week. I'll see which one is worthy of my favorite next week. I still love my Feather too, but I don't know if you count replacables.
