Just thought I would ask which razor in your collections do you favor the most at the moment.

Just thought I would ask which razor in your collections do you favor the most at the moment.
So far out of 20+ razors. My 7/8 th's Otto Busch Worldmaster is the top razor. A few are very close. And enjoyable to use. But it just meets and exceeds all the requirements for a good shave. For me any way. Ken

No favorites out of 130+ razors, but one stands out above the rest. The shave this one gives is unreal, as if the edge was graced by god himself.
Wostenholm 7/8

Wade & Butcher 9/8 FBU without question. All original but the pins and washers, and the shave is unearthly smooth and close.

But I have a short attention span and a few razors :D
If the house was on fire and I only had time to grab one, it would be this guy.

My Dovo Silver Steel and Double Duck Wonderedge are extremely good shavers.

So far it has been my W&B Special 5/8 love these :)
I'm working on a tablet at the moment, can't seem to upload pics, but my favourite razor is the Uno 7/8 half hollow with barber's notch in bone scales. It's a new razor I got from The Restored Razor and they ship it shave ready, and tell you, not to strop it, just try the edge out of the box. I did that and it's the real deal, sharpest I've come across. So good I bought a second.
My Fili #13 DT takes one of the nicest edges even though I'm not the most experienced honer, so that makes it my favorite. Hope to get Sub-cero 13 or 14 one day.

No pics...my favorite is a Jon Jay Velvet Edge. Nice 6/8th barbers notch. Aged with patina and has a cracked scale but gives a beautiful shave. Found it when we were cleaning out my great uncle's house preparing for an estate sale about 20 years ago. According to his brother it was the only razor he used until developed Alzheimer's in his 50's. I use it once a month or so.
