Indeed, Jim.
My top go-to blade is a smiling 7/8 W&B spike that was made before your grandfather was born. It's a half hollow and has desert ironwood scales. My pet.

If there are 3000 members I suspect you will get well over 2500 differing answers. And for the people who haven't using straights for a very long, the answer probably changes over time. My personal choice may not fit yours. Good luck with it...

If I had two or three I might be able to answer that but with a bit over one hundred there is no way. It would be like asking a mother with a dozen children which she loves the most.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

I have a Henckels Friodur stainless 9/16, and a Henckels Zwillings carbon 5/8th. I prefer the Zwillingwerk, but my opinion is null and void, since these are the only two razors I've ever tried.

Pet Razor
My favorites are the ones I have traded off or sold. One in particular was a Reincke Gold Nugget 4/8. It was the jeep of all my razors. Always ready and did a good job. I make leather leather pouches for carrying razors in pockets for show&tell, etc. I confess to a quirk: Whenever a razor seems to shave a Best Blade Shave, I place it in its pouch on the night table by our bed. It gets the reward of being near me during the night. I think this is from the days we boys took baseball gloves, BB guns, or favorite possessions to bed with us. I once had a favorite lawnmower, but it leaked oil...
