Thread: Least favorite razor?

this is like trying to pick a least favorite child
it is just wrong,
the poor things are just a bit misunderstood that's all
but a perfect example of YMMV

Yep. That's how I feel about that. I'd sooner give it away, but still couldn't do that. I don't feel it would serve to promote SR shaving if I behaved in that manner.

I agree splashone. One of the things I enjoy is buying a no-name razor off of E-Bay in very poor condition, cheap, ugly, and turning it into a great shaver. Not necessarily very handsome, but a great shaver - and like you, I have way too many razors!

I only have 10 user blades,all the same size, all the same maker,they all shave the same so no least fave for me.

My least favorites become wind chimes. Just saying!

I have no trouble picking my least favorite child: My Dubl Duck Goldedge. Nothing to do with bevels, patience, practice. I just don't like the damn thing! It shaves as well as any in the herd, but ... it just doesn't suit me. Come to think of it, that's the one in my rotation that's most likely to leave a nick. I tend to ignore it for long stretches, then feel obligated to put it to work--and still don't like it, not even the "scritch" sound it makes. Just a poor marriage, I suppose.

I could not put a satisfactory edge on it to save my life.

I have had a least favored Friodur. Model 451
I have had 4 of them, and each one, without fail, sliced my face. I have since sworn off them =P

If it is 4/8 it is least favorite. Sold all but a couple, and eventually will sell those too. I always say I don't like round points but whenever I shave with them I like 'em ........ crazy.

Yeah, only 4/8 I have is a smiler and a square-point. A Rantankarus I got from a fine member here. Shaves like a bigger razor. Round points ain't as sexy to some, but I like mine, just fine.

Great to have in YOUR collection :<0)
