Thread: Your favorite shoulderless razor?

Hi everyone!
I have only one shoulder-less razor, the Dovo Renaissance, and it is OK, although I don't particularly like the scales. I really like it on the strop though.
So I might be looking for a new razor that is nice and smooth at the shoulder.

Any favorites? Some of the "Revisor" razors look nice, but that is also true of the Dovo Bismarck.

I like shoulder-less razors also and have a shoulder-less Revisor with thumb notch. It shaves very well but the bottom part of the thumb notch is rounded not flat. I really don't care for that when stropping. I would much prefer that part to have been flat with jimps as a bonus but not a necessity.

Without a doubt my two Western-style Kamisori - the upper is a 6/8 Daishi 350 made of tamahagane steel, and the bottom is a 13/16 Hoshi Tombo 6000.

My favorite is a Thiers-Issard. Nice shaver. Easy to hone. Easy to strop.

Two of my favorite shavers. Now I won't have to post my photos.

I also favor my Thiers-Issard 7/8 Oakwood shoulderless -- for shave quality, ease of honing and stropping -- but I don't have any Japanese shoulderless razors to give it a run for its money. I hope to remedy that situation before too long. And, of course, a Revisor is also on my RAD list.

Thanks for saving us the razor envy, evnpar. Your SotD photos make me drool too much as it is.

I only have two shoulderless, a Joseph Rodgers & Sons in Black Linen Micarta and a Bismarck in Ivory.

Dovo Carre is my favorite shoulderless:

I'm a real lover of the shoulder less blades. I have two Dovo Bismarck's 6/8 a Dovo paper stone 6/8, a Dovo Grenadille Carre 6/8 and 3 Thiers Issard 7/8, Spartacus, Bijou De France, Ram's horn. I've never liked shoulders, find them annoying when honing. So in the past few years I've stuck to getting shoulderless blades. My only exception in recent times was the 7/8 from Brandonisio and Bro. I bought two 7/8 models, as they have been the sharpest razors I've cone across new.
