    Default If you could have only one custom for a daily shaver...

    Yet another "There can be only one!" poll.

    Ignoring cost, which of these makers would you choose if you could only own one custom razor as a daily shaver (and why)?

    Yes, I realize the various "issues". We (mostly) like variety. There are different qualities people like about each of them. Looks versus effectiveness. Finish quality... etc. etc.

    But, overall, If you could own one and if you could own ONLY one....

    EDIT - Apologies if I left off anyone. No offense intended. Write ins welcome.

    That's an impossible decision to make so I won't vote.

    If it was to be a daily shaver, it would depend on how well it shaved not who made it. If I could only have one, I would lean towards a Livi... I've never tried any of them so I can't say who's shave better, It's just something about having an old world "Italian" razor...
    If I was going for something more modern, fancy, or unique, I'd go with Williams

    +1 on the Livi.
    Like Mike I have never tried any of them, but being of Italian decent I'd have to go for a Livi. After all they have brought us Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and they won the 2006 Word Cup!!! (but hey I'm not biased )

    Only one I can think of... a razor made by Joe Chandler. However, that choice was not included in the poll......

    I wont fret though... I think mine is already in progress.

    If it came to only getting one (ya right!!) I'd have to get the Takeda bladed Livi... Unless another maker started making razors with that kind of steel

    Speaking of which... I seem to have that AS blank from Takeda...

    I guess I'd kinda like to be included in the poll. I think I've earned it.

    I've never used any of them, but based on experience thus far I'd have to go with a Joe Chandler. As for why, I really like the look of his work.

    I added Joe Chandler to the poll because he is a recognized, skilled customs maker.
