Thread: Do you own one or more special razors?

Let's see,

My F. Stuart Apps because it was more than likely owned by a Canadian Officer in WWI and I spent 12 years as a Canadian officer, recently retired for medical reasons. Also special because it took a lot of work to get shiny and pretty and shave ready.


This vintage King Cutter was the first straight razor I bought, learned to hone on and then learn to shave with. I do things backwards most of the time...


This W&B is just cool and I haven't seen one with engraving like it before, plus it is a phenomenal shaver.


This King Cutter had the factory edge on it when I found with zero hone wear, it was completely untouched. Been on the 4k/8k hone once to freshen up and finished with some CRox. Closest thing to a new vintage blade I have found.


I could probably keep going, they really are all special for different reasons.

There really is no such thing as RAD-lite... Haha!

As has been said, they're all special to me; like children. I have 7 razors at the moment and they all have a special place; however my Klas Törnblom is probably my most special; it was, until just recently, reserved for my Sunday shaves (now taken over by my Joseph Elliot). It has excellent Swedish steel and very nice very thin ivory scales.

Just this one, Swedish, one of my first of some years back and a great edge holder.


And, yes, those are one piece MOP scales.
