    My #1 razor, is my first razor, the one I used to learn the ropes of honing and shaving.... As for the other 30 odd razors I own, it depends on how they behave on a given day.

    So, #1 is my Clauss Special 47 with all it's tarnish and wonky scales, however, the scales have finally been replace by Glen, and durn it all if he didn't clean up the blade too <mumble>. Now she's almost too purdy to shave with....<sigh>.

    All the others, new, old, custom.... don't know.... Today might be my 5/8 Boker in cast steel, or the King Cutter, tomorrow a 13/16 Clauss or maybe the Fredrick Reynolds.... I have 3 of those.... They are ALL my favourites, depending on the day.

    Regards

    I just happen to have three. In order of preference:
    -Pearl King, International Cutlery Co. ca 1930's: The best condition of the three and the first straight I shaved with in the 80's and promptly quite after hacking up my face.
    After switching to the straight last year I've been maintaining this edge to some degree of 'shave-ready'. Its close.

    -Leader, F.W. Engels ca 1935-45 ? : My best shaver. Lightly restored and honed by SRD. An amazing edge.

    -No name Sheffield, Kayser Ellison Best Silver Steel. A smooth shaver but my least favorite of the three. My only 4/8; also lightly restored by SRD.

    I said that after the first one, a Germania Cutlery Works circa 1930. My second, a Morley clover is en route as we speak. I'm not even going to think about promising myself that will be the last.

    It's tough to only pick 3 but after a fair bit of thought I'd think mine would be Le Grelot, Filarmonica and Joseph Mappin.
