    Default One razor to rule them all...

    So I get my HUGE pay raise in January. 1% - woo hoo!! God bless the Army. Looking to get one REALLY nice razor - and by really nice I mean $500-600. Looking for either a custom or vintage, FULL size. 8/8 or whatever is the biggest. Anyone have some thoughts? PM is open.

    Careful you may find that the additional 1% puts you in a new tax bracket and you're making less now!

    May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!

    Pick a 14 and give it a whirl. There are a few common 14 brands, there is also the Henckels 17 and the old Sheffield wedges. That concludes my top brand and style that tend to be a little more pricey. You can pay a lot for a razor with over the top scales.

    If any of you could provide links to where I can buy, that would be appreciated. Only been into this for a year, so I'm still a shopping novice.

    Well for that amount you're first getting into custom territory. I'd get a couple of nice vintage razors.

    We need more info. You have to show us what you already have before we can suggest something new. I love my big sheffield wedges.

    Hmm ... what about some big swedes such as Heljestrand Mk 33 (in ivory or tortoise) or MK 133 / 134?
