What is your favorite Razor

I haven't been using a straight long enough to really pick just one razor. I know I like the heaver blades even though I get good shave with the hollow ground blades. I don't have as many different brands or sizes or grinds as a lot of you folks out there so just what is your favorite blade . now don't say the one that was handed down from great, great granddad or the one given to you by a dear friend. were talking about the one that hones the best and gives the great shave time after time . Now I know this is a loaded question and it's solely up to the individual for what ever the reason. I have one or two that just feel good in my hand. and that may be the deciding factor. It might be interesting to hear from the members here.

It's easier to say what is my least favorite razor. Really, all my 5/8s and 6/8s are my favorites. I don't think I could pick one that really stands out above the others. They all give me great shaves and I would never give one the nod because of looks. It's what's up front that counts for me.

Generally, my favorite razor is the one I happen to be using at the time.

+1 on Druid's response!

I tend to like the heavier wedges, and near wedges!!

Heljestrand MK No. 31 5/8 full hollow Swedish

That would be two for me, different beasts, so each stands on it's own.

W&B 9/8, Celebrated, FBU spike point and my Thiers-Issard #69 Frame back - the King and Queen of my collection.

I tend towards big Smilin' Sheffields, and my best and smoothest shaver is my Frederick Reynolds.

Brian Brown 8/8 and a stainless Butch Harner in burl. Two way tie.

Western Iwasaki

At this point in time, a Ralf Aust 6/8 Spanish point my wife bought me for our 30th anniversary

I grab for my Hart 6/8 more and more

Hart Steel 7/8 or Boker 6/8 Silver Steel. Opposite ends of the spectrum, I know. Depends on the vibe that day I suppose, but both are top of the heap.

It's a very difficult one to answer but it I was given an ultimatum saying that you may only keep one razor from your collection then it would be this early Filarmonica 14 Especial 8/8 it's a wonderful smooth razor to shave with and no matter how many times I use it it still brings the same smile to my face.

Of all my razors, I own a fair number of Robesons and they all perform well enough to be considered in "my best shaver."

This is my favorite razor hence why its my avatar picture

Honestly? Whatever isn't a full-hollow grind, and needs the least amount of work to shave my week-old beard.

So far for me it has to be the Le Reve, honed this blade on a couple of different finishers and it's realy smooth each time

Past weekend I shaved with a blade with the text Vini Vidi Vici on the Tang, and I was suprised how smooth that shave was as well.

to be honest I think these two were accidentally honed realy well

O.K.,,,o.k. ,,,,so I can't tell you where I got it,,:shrug:,,but it gave me my best shave to date & it's a Wade & Butcher,,,

For me, without a doubt, it would be this razor, I bow and briefly lower my eyes as I approach - my King.

I've had very good experiences both honing and shaving with W.R. Case razors from Bradford, PA.
