So far, my favorite is the C. Meyers I restored. I was really proud of the professional looking job I did with it, and it is the best shaver I have so far. But, I have 14 blades to work on, so my preference may change over time. I have bone, antler, linen micarta, canvas micarta to work with right now, and ideas for many more materials.

Mine would be my 6/8+ spike tip Wade & Butcher with desert ironwood scales. Well over 100 years old and a dream to hone and shave with. I can never stay away for long.

I am a sucker for a nice heavy blade and Traveler's work on the scales really tops it off. I have two of his razors and love them.

As of now this is my baby. It might be replaced as #1 once I finish a few others.

I guess my first resto has to be my baby. The one that taught me to hate hand sanding but love the side effects.
