Thread: What are your top 3 straight razors?

Great idea with the pics this time I like it...
I am going to switch up a touch as my top three shavers as in best and easiest on the face with one pass are all still the same My L.H. Mack, the Reaper, and my Wonderedge.....Those three razors shave "MY FACE" the best,,,

However I have been expanding my horizon and been trying out new types of razors for me ie: larger blades

So "Right" now for the last few months these have been my goto razors...

The first was a gift from our very own "Search Master" Lee/hoglahoo

A 7/8 C-MON Blackie



The second was a restore I did for myself on a #14 Fillarmonica 8/8 Doble Temple....



The third is a 8/8 Friodur that I customized polished and balanced....



These are in no particular order and all of them are extremely smooth on the face, a good razor has come to be more of a smoothness thing to me I want a nice smooth shave with ZERO irritation in one pass... I can always go back and do the next two passes if I so chose, but I don't want to have too.....

I would love to play but honest I can't decide. It would be like asking out of a dozen which of three kids do you love more than the others and I have way more than a dozen. Anyway, if push came to shove ..... my Robert Williams swayback with pre ban elephant ivory, Livi Blue Tonge, and last but not least.... a Robert Williams frameback with mammoth scales.

As for me, all new Wostenholms on top.=)

Right now, that is a very easy question to answer, as I only have 3 razors in shave ready condition and in my rotation:

A Henckels Friodur 50 1/2, a JA Henckels 60 and a no brand Solingen from Rasurpur.




So far so good, although the Friodur is probably my favourite, but I am thinking of moving up (in size) and next should be a 7/8...another Friodur maybe?

Regards

Hard to decide a top 3, but these are certainly 3 of my favorites. All are magnificent shavers that both perform and look (to me) incredible. They are permanent residents in my regular rotation.
