Did you know that disposable guy razors shave *way* better than lady's razors? If you guys think the Mach 3 is bad...

I really dislike excessive hone wear, uneven hone wear

I appreciate every razor I have seen on here.

A very interesting thread this. Things that I don't like: heavy, inelegant tangs and tails; plastic scales which are embossed or look like they're made from a recycled accordion; excessively large washers. Mostly it's the metal which counts, and there are very few blades which I find ugly, but there's always an exception. The TI damascus recently shown by Buddel here:

is a case in point. The shape just doesn't work for me at all, and as for those original jigged scales... ugh. I think the transformation he brought about was near miraculous, but the blade is still the weakest link.

I also don't like the way 4/8 and smaller razors look. They may shave great, I don't know. I'm really not interested in finding out.

I'm with you here. I don't like tiny razors just from an aesthetic perspective. They just look awkward. Like a popsicle stick that folds into a handle.
I agree with the 2nd poster that those weird TI's that look like they were misground are really ugly. I also agree with others who don't like abalone, most wood, or stubby tails.
I didn't read all this thread, but in what I did read, I didn't see anyone mention big pins. I really don't like elaborate, big pins. They remind me of tasteless, gaudy cowboys (not all cowboys, just the gaudy ones who wear too much shiny crap)
That's all I can think of for now...

+1 on gold wash, like mentioned, gold isn't my thing..

I also find most of the Filarmonica razors to be ugly, not sure why, they just are...

I like all kinds of razors.
There is just 2 things I really don't like.
First there is the Wade & butcher style, you know with the ridge/bulge on the spine.
It sorta look like a shavette or something. I have no doubt they are excellent shavers though, just not pleasing to my eye.
The other thing I don't like is razors that is just too much, design-wise.
there is one debated on this site right now, the one that is on ebay for about $40 dollars, damascus and not made for shaving(sic). That kinda design is just too much in my opinion. I want it clean, flowing and simple.

Any razor with a round toe.
