Thread: Do you own one or more special razors?

Like children, they are all special.

Bob

I've gone a bit overboard with the collection...

Several TIs, several Tuckmars, a really pretty Louper (will post pics), several Dorkos, a Revisor, Hart Steel, Dovos, and a whole slew of other antique blades most of which are in outstanding condition.

I shave with and maintain all of them myself - right now I'm using the Hart Steel that I just honed up to perfection on my Shaptons... Great razor.

Unlike most, I have no favorite style - as long as the edge is good I can get a wonderful shave whether is a full hollow 6/8 or a thicker grind or narrower blade.

Now I need to break out the DSLR and my macro lens...

John

Buddel, Livi, Brian Brown x2, Robert Williams, Butch Harner, Joe Chandler and Charlie Lewis in customs. Mappin Lancet Edge, Revisor 8/8, Bengall 8/8, John Barber, Dovo MOP, Hart, LeGrelot Lord Barber, Wostenholm frameback and a few others.

My best one as of now is probably a Pal Waldmin razor made in the 1920s and scaled in pre-ban ivory. It's aged very well, and so the scales have turned a creamy yellow/ amber.

There are so many; In no particular order:


Mastro Livi 8/8 Bergam Damascus

The razor that Josh Earl built for me.

The one that Bob Allman built for me.

The W&B that Glen restored.

The Genco Army & Navy that Max did “Army all the way”.

And a whole bunch of others.

Just my Palmeras,all in Ivory.

There's a misconception in the UK that Americans don't do satire. I never tire of seeing this picture.

Quite the contrary - I think the American sense of humor is very similar to the British. After all, Eric Idle from Monty Python was a writer for Saturday Night Live in the 70's - many of those old SNL skits with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi were his work.

and all my Swedish razors

I have a I BARBAR that has been reconditioned. a H & J W King that has been reconditioned. both were basically given to me and I had them reconditioned. shaved with the barber but not the king yet. just like looking at them. the one I think the most of is the boker red injun 100. it was sent to me to practice honing and it actually shaves the best but because it was given to me money couldn't buy it. the rest of my razors are just RAD. saw them bought them now well it's like you buy a kid a toy for Xmas and he plays with the box.
