    Oh my! This is difficult. I seem to have several, including Livi, Zowada, Puma, DD. And they all could be called "legendary".

    But, just to shake things up a bit, one that falls into that rare category, for me, is a razor most every one can purchase in the current version. Granted mine is an older model and that might have something to do with it.

    But one of the razors I reach for when I absolutely, positivity must have a great shave is...... ..................................... a TI Super Gnome Extra rescaled by Max.

    Jeff, you will love that razor. About the only thing better than a Filarmonica EPBD, is one rescaled by Max. Yee-haw!

    Thanks for the good words. I'm just grateful for a chance to own one, as every one on eBay goes for some crazy price. Why didn't I buy one when they were cheaper?! Sheer stupidity.

    And besides the EPBD, I was going to say that my legendary razor is a simple 6/8 TI Le Grelot in imitation MOP scales. My first, and could easily be my only, razor. It can shave the cute off a kitten and keeps a wicked sharp edge practically forever. Other than this new Filly, TIs rule my bathroom.

    Currently, I these are the razors I reach for all the time.

    5/8 Wade and Butcher 1/4 hollow, oblique point rescaled in white bone.

    5/8 Thomas Turner 1/4 hollow, oblique point in original black horn.

    Red Imp Wedge by Case.

    I also have a Lockwood Brothers 5/8 shoulderless 1/4 hollow, oblique point in horn, a Torry 9/16 1/4 hollow, barbers notch in horn and a 9/16 Joseph Rodgers 1/4 hollow, barbers notch with original black plastic scales but they need sharpening.

    I've been spending extra time with one of my vintage Bokers recently.
