What IS the world's finest shaver? Dang, I am getting so confused. ;)
Is it the Chronik?
The MOP dovo?
The Le Grelot (a humble regrind)?
The TI 7/8 square point (with or without mammoth scales)?
The Zowada damascus?
Anything by Mappin and Webb?
A $300 rescaled wapi?
Or the TI Limited blond horn covered tang 5/8 (I predict CS will run out of stock very quickly)?
Did I miss anything? Feel free to add your entry without fear of being b*tchslapped.
Anyone for a poll?
Whichever one is the sharpest that day.
Ah, tricky question. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that it's the next razor on our "to buy" list. You know, the pot of gold at the end of the shaving rainbow. Same with hones, actually - that next hone will give the perfect edge, that next razor will give the perfect shave.

:wSome where over the rainbow:w
Come on everyone, SING!
The Best Shaver? Obviously it's the most expensive! ;)
Surely it couldn't be an el cheapo Geneva Cutlery, Robeson or Sta-Sharp... that would be a real letdown. :hmmm:
+1 :tu That's the way I look at it...Quote:

Ken.
Probably...until the next razor comes along! I am afraid that most of us are an extremely fickle group!Quote:

The same people in that circle seem to regard regrinds like the livi as nothing more than "rescaled ebay specials" not worth more than $70 :rolleyes: while proclaiming the TI regrinds of the vintage le grelot blanks as the bee's knees.Quote:

You forgot the Dovo Tortoise, that is the BEST shaver
