Thread: THAT one razor you absolutely love?

Two actually--
Heirloom--My Grandfather's Lakeside Cutlery Army/Navy.
Rest of the collection--My Wosty Celebrated IXL 7/8.

There are a few, including the Mappin Lancet razor I scored last year, but for me, hands down it's these two 9/8 spike point W&B's:





Here's the Lancet Karlej restored for me last year...beautiful razor:

Karl does do some fine work, Phrank.

First straight razor, Wade butcher for barbers use. Got it restored by gssixgun and he did a great job on it.

Riga Razor 8/8

My goodness fella's.. Some sweet looking razors posted! I'm in the same boat as a poster above and have yet to find "the one".. Not for a lack of effort as I have 16 or so razors but only 6 that I use.. One of these days I'll get the rest put up on B/S/T... My workhorse is pretty familiar so no picture needed
. My Heljestrand Le Prince slices the whiskers down quite nicely so I seem to grab that the most..

I now have a Lancet on layaway
Yeah I know I can make one. In fact I have made that grind for one of our Australian members. It's not that I can't make one, I just want a vintage one.
Someone who has one in nice condition has contacted me after I made my post and we've come to a trade agreement, to be fulfilled sometime later this year.

George Wolstenhome IXL French point.

Got this at a flea market for $10 US with the original box (which was in rough shape but still had legible imprints on it).

With a couple of shaves under its belt, this old razor shaves as good as it looks!

That is a beaut. Interesting filing and scales.
