Thread: Battle of the straight-blades...

Why not all three?

If I had to choose one, it would be the Boker. Shoulderless FTW!

Huh, it's a hard decision. I think i'd go for the Magneto, or the boker. 4/8-s are good, but i like larger blades. (I do have all sizes from 3/8-7/8), but i like 5/8's and 6/8' best.

Very pretty, but can they fight?

The shave test would determine the winner.

That Boker would be a good bet for a good shave.

I like shoulderless but here I'd vote for the Finedge Ostiso Magnet.
Looks very good to me.

Of course shaving well is most important.

I'd go for the Boker, It might not be the prettiest, but I have yet to find one that didn't give a great shave.

Bokers the only one I know from reputation, the other two are knew
to me but also by reputation most solingen blades are good to.

I'm getting a Boker exactly like the one first pictured... Does anyone know more about that particular model?

Personally I would keep all three, I have 22 I shave with and they all appeal in their own way. As stated by thebigspendur, manufacture name doesn't always mean its the best razor. I have a few big names that currently don't shave as good as the lesser names but I'm not blaming the manufacture name, could be I haven't figured out the code on that particular razor to get that fine edge we all look to achieve. All three look very nice BTW and you will find out like the rest of us it's hard to say 'Good-Bye' to any of them, just try it, I dare you.

I'm not much on a 4/8 blade, so it would rule out the first one for me. The Finedge Ostiso Magnet looks almost NOS & as long as it's German, should be a good shaver. I agree with these guys & gals on Boker, you can't go wrong as long as the blade isn't used up or damaged.
