I always thought Les Croix by Johann Breidorh was the mith of straight razors.
My grail razor came into my possession a while ago: Wootz steel Joe Chandler custom. It is such a unique blade that I haven't had an itch to search for a new grail... In fact, I think it was the last razor I purchased. :rock:
Lets face facts, Phrank has already bought up all the grail razors out there. All that's left are tokens to roadside deities.
But in all seriousness, once I acquired my 1820's near wedge razor and an unused, unhoned quarter hollow Eskilstuna recently, all my religious fervor has subsided until I have had time to fully enjoy them. Then I will once again don my Crusader's armor and enter the auction battleground again.

My 8/8 wade and butcher FBU
But before that it was a CV Heljestrand witht ivory scales and before that a Iwasaki Tamahagane kamisori and before that a Fili Barbas Duras... Not sure what my next holy grail will be...:hmmm:
I always thought there is no 'holy grail of straights' until one day I ended up in a Milano church after hours.

It's a bit fuzzy but it's still pretty clear the guy's clean shaven which proves there was indeed a holy grail & razor :)
I certainly remember what happened to the mug:

but don't remember seeing the razor there - may have to watch it again :)
For me a Wade & Butcher FBU, in the 8/8 variety. I'm still looking!!!!!!!! HINT, HINT
Right now, mine is also a newly acquired Wade & Butcher "Celebrated - for barbers use" 8/8.
This thing is the shaving bomb!
