Thread: Holly Grail

I consider all my razors to be the Holy Grail !!!

Gold Dollar! Some day when my finances are better.

Really i would love a custom. But there not rare so i dont know if that applies.

Lynn's description for the holy grail sounds pretty good to me, but that also means I need more experience to know what the holy grail is for me.

Now if you are asking what is the holy grail of my RAD I would say that changes. It was a C-MON HF, I never cared for razors with plastic scales but the first time I saw a picture of that razor I swear there was lights and music and such in my head. In fact it was these pictures here...

I'm now restoring one of those so my RAD needs a new Holy Grail to quest for, I think maybe an Otto Deutches or an 8/8 W&B will be my next quest.

I'm really hunting for a few razors. One is a nice Mappin, another is a fencing foils Greaves, and another is something over 9/8. I'd also quite like a nice SatinWedge. That's all I can think of at the moment that I really want.

I like what Lynn said, Ive got a Harris-Goar, made in KC and sold by H-G in their catologs from way back. Its a 5/8 roundpoint, extra hollow ground etched on the obverse and We sell Elgin watches on Credit on the reverse. Its a great shaver, made and marketed here in the hometown and has a little rarity and history to it. What could be better!

A Robert Williams custom made to my specs.A couple others,but I don't want to duplicate what others have said.(or put anyone on point to look for what I want)

I've got your holy grail . Right here!

or maybe right here

or here

or here

or here

Just a few of my favorites .

As much as I agree with Lynn, there is one razor i really want that is my 'Holy Grail,' which i can not find for sale anywhere.


An ivory clad tang Rodgers with ivory scales. There is one listed within our database.

In fact, if anyone would be willing to sell it to me, please PM me. If not I remain deep within my quest to source and acquire this razor.

It's a Colley & Co. , 98 Arundel St. , Sheffield . They were in business from 1834 - 1844 . I believe the wooden scales to be original . I don't recall seeing a point like this either . The tang also has a unique shape .
