Thread: Looking for a new razor

Hey Eclipse, it's a Boker as a first choice every time for me. I have 3 and they all shave great.

Thanks for the kind replies everyone. I've never heard of Portland razors but I just checked out their website and those are some nice looking blades ;-). I'm also curious about Portland Razor Co.'s Deluxe Strop. It says made from "american leather". Anyone know what the draw is like on that strop? A fine looking piece for sure. I've had a Black Latigo, Premium II, and an English Bridle all from SRD. I'm curious about this other one.

Hart makes a good razor but in my opinion they are expensive for what you get . (I have one). Better go with an Aust or a Dovo or a TI. My opinion of course.

If you have any questions about Portland Razors, just send an email. You will get a quick and courteous response. I am waiting to order one of their razors, and my experience dealing with them has been exemplary. They make a fine product at a responsible price point, and the custom work is really first rate.

I've been very impressed with the Ralf Aust.
And I've had great luck with the Hart Steel, the bonus surprise was the Hart Baxter "Not a Replica" 6/8 SP - Blued.
I was lucky enough to pick on up on the classifieds here and it just gets better with time.

Do you only need one?

Smooth shaving....

(Does anyone only need one?)

I would like to meet a long time straight shaver that only had one blade and one brush and one bowl. I'll sooner meet a unicorn, no doubt. Ridden by Marilyn Monroe and Jon Voight.
