The more i tiptoe around the forum and the net, looking & learning, i'm finding that i want more razors.
I only have two for now, so i personally cannot judge at this moment in time. (don't get me wrong this is not to stop people buying a ton of razors)
No instead this is geared to all you, time served razor pros,who have put time, money, and effort in to this lifestyle.
I would love to know,if you could only keep one razor what would be.....your "one & only".
That would honestly be impossible for me to say. :shrug:
I'm human, I'm fickle, I'm bored easily. If I can't practice polygamy, I can practice razorgamy. My "harem" has many delightful "ladies" and it is pleasant agony each morning deciding which one will grace my face that day.:banghead:
Gonna need about twenty to thirty years worth of shaving with the 50-60
at the moment to decide on "THE ONE". There are a few here that have just a couple. I think.
i think the "ONE" would be my Greaves 7/8 FBU half hollow .. followed by a Packwood 6/8 , those 2 just except and hold a wicked edge from the way i hone and provide the best feel in the hand and most comfortable shave for me
ive had 40-60 razors most of the time and realistically probably only use 3-4 on a regular basis
If I could only keep one it would have to be my Am. Gilchrist. Heavy blade, great shaver.
I can tell this is gonna be a hard one to choose.
So then tell us your top three.
That's easy, every "one" of my razors.....I like em all...:D
If I was forced to make a choice, hands down would be my 9/8 Wade and Butcher, Celebrated Hollow Ground, For Barbers Use spike point....nothing but bliss everytime I use it.
edit: Top 3
#2 - W&B 9/8 Chopper with the thumb notch and spike point.
#3 - GB 9/8 Iron Cross - something mystical about shaving with that one...
1) Greaves 7/8 FBUQuote:

maher and grosh trusty razor 15/16
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.
