Thread: The ONE you would NEVER give up!

My Robert Williams.......

None of my razors are priceless, except a plain jane $20 NOS Worcester half hollow 6/8 that my then 8 year old son (and my wife) picked out for me at an antique shop and surprised me with 2 Father's days ago. I will give it to him one Father's day, many years from now.

Razors honestly come and go, I get much more attached to hones myself. But I've seen some stunning razors on this thread for sure, wow.

For me (today, anyway) it would be my Otto Busch Weltmeister 13/16ths, rescaled in olive wood, with a nickel wedge. The last word in solid, understated German craftsmanship. Maybe the consistently sharpest, smoothest shaver I've ever put to my face. The bevel is almost invisible:

Mine would have to be my Boker "Jack's Choice". I plan to give it to my son Jack when hes old enough so it means alot to me. Shaves like a hot damn to.

They can all be replaced but the way I came to have this one gives it a very special place with me thanks to our own Bob Allman. I had ordered a blade from Bob and after I got it scaled I had some issues getting it honed. It was no big deal as I eventually got it worked out and man what an awesome shaver it turned out to be. Now Bob being the unselfish person and true gentleman he is was concerned that I was not happy with the blade I got from him, so while I was still away working I got a phone call from my wife saying I had a package from Bob. I told her to open it and she said there was a beautiful razor and a note inside from Bob. Bob seemed to want to make up to me the trouble I had(which was really no trouble) and if anything offered it as a Christmas gift. I was blown away and pretty well speechless by what he had done, it's wonderful to know that there are still wonderful people like Bob out there. Mr. Allman, I still to this day don't know how to put it into words so all I can say it thank you.

Wade and Butcher For Gentlemens Use 7/8's reground and scaled in
giraffe bone with a brass wedge by Boballman.

It would be a 50.00 e-bay razor. A 13/16 S.R.Droescher Blue Diamond with cracked ice scales and a blued tang ( I call it my redneck Filly )
