My favorites are my favorites only because of the shaves I get. They are super sharp and go ATG with no tugging -- result? BBS!
Right now I'm favoring the Torrey (from GW - so sharp AND smooth), the new Dovo which I just got last week (this one is honed by Lynn and such a smooth shaver - 6/8 is the way to go IMO), and the R. Klaas -- my first razor and still my favorite I think. It's been shaved with the most and still holds the stellar edge provided by Sham (hi_bud_gl) from the beginning of April.
In all seriousness, if anybody has a chance to pick up a Klaas (sometimes called Kissing Crane brand), I'd recommend it. The steel is so hard and the edges keep forever.
To answer your question GW (as you can tell from the last paragraph), I'd give the red Dovo Bismarck a recommendation any day of the week. With the pile of razors you have laying around you could definitely justify moving them for the cost of it!
Thanks for all the compliments and interest, guys. I'll be putting up pics of the Gold Bug and Easy Aces when I get them back from Max.
Cheers,
Ogie
