Thread: What is the best possible razor?

Watercooler conversation: "I got that new gilette with the commercial that's in space" "Yeah, well I shave with a straight razor that came from space." And those custom jobs are gorgeous pieces of art. Do they ever use silver in blades? Seems like since it's sterile it'd give a pretty good shave. I mean, if it's good enough for surgeons to use on organs it probably wouldn't do a bad shave.

I like Sheffields generally, though Solingens are good, and others. I'm sure a custom would be very cool. High quality steel seem to be the business. Good luck.

I don't know if this is necessarily the "best", but it is a dang good one. As we discussed, it's one of my earlier restores & was in my rotation for quite some time. I hope you enjoy it. I shaved with it this morning, cleaned it, stropped it, and it's on it's way to you...

Just wipe the blade with alcohol to sterilize it & shave with it.

IMHO, it's the one that:

1. You reach for every AM
2. Has "dialed in" the number for your face.
3. Consistently provides you with the most comfortable shave.
4. Has you going "woww" after each shaves.

Basically, it's the one your face has fallen in love with and you don't know it yet .
