    I like a variety, so just one won't do. Literally in my rotation I have from 4/8 to 9/8 razors, wedges, super hollows, spike & round points, customs, and razors from all over the world. They are all honed on different stones too, so that each shave is totally unique. WHy would someone want "just one"?

    If you are asking which razors is the "best", that is subjective too as you get the personality of the stones the razor visited more than anything. There are better razors for different styles of "likes" when it comes to shaving. Do you like a butter smooth shave that a coticule finished razor can give? Do you like a freakishly sharp/crisp edge?

    stenton shaves best followed by wade and then the maher and grosh. now your mission should you decide to accept it, find yourself a stenton.
    OK. I found one... a 'Stenton' that is...

    Here's mine. Just "ONE" of my favorites. I'm just like Jimmy...too hard to pick just One.

    I was asked the same question, by my wife" pick just one and we walk away from society. One blade, one soap, one stone,one strop, one after shave.One brush"
    I can pick a soap,strop,aftershave,brush BUT A BLADE??? .
    I asked if I could bring ONE box of supplies, ONE handled box. NO was the answer. I am torn.I wrestled with it for days.
    If thats what I am forced to do my decision would be a harder metal.stiffer and holds and edge longer. its between a 6/8th Boker Silversteel, and a TI with bone scales. Breaks my heart not to bring a Dubl Duck 6/8ths as my main blade

    The question is similar to asking which of your children to you like best. No good answer can come of that question,each are unique and special.
    Your only as good as your last hone job.

    I have 14 razors I use regularly. I have often thought of going down to just a couple but I could never part with them. I would have to replace any I sell with the same razor.

    Hart, revisor, TI, Joseph Rodgers. No wait revisor wade and butcher Aust...

    Nope can't do it
