I began keeping a dedicated shaving/honing log about a year ago in which I keep info on each blade and also grade the shave. Initially using each razor in my stable in strict rotation quickly devolved into picking and choosing. (much more fun !) The log shows that I prefer thicker grind Sheffields and surprisingly a couple of obscure or unusual blades (always with a smile) also get much use. Here are my hidden gems , show us your surprisingly excellent shavers ! No Fili's ,Duck's ,customs,etc, we all know they shave well. Just blades that have exceeded your initial expectations and become a favorite.

A Wosty,(no surprise there) but has been reground sometimes in the past and I assumed it would be junk. Notice the residual pitting near the spine. And a inherited Henry Schweitzer of German origin.Name:  DSCN0590.jpg
