Thread: Your Legendary Razor

Howdy all,

So I wanted to ask you guys what your legendary razor is. What is that one go to razor that always seems to get the job done when nothing else can.

Or better yet what is the razor you find yourself reaching for more often?

For me there is actually three razors that stands out.

A Tim Zowada 7/8 Damascus, a Filarmonica EPBD #14 straight point, and a Mastro Livi 7/8.
If I had to pick one of these three, the EPBD wins narrowly.

Wade and butcher 6/8 medium hollow, or 7/8 shoulderless Tuckmar round point. Both are equally smooth but I probably use the W&B more often.

It's my little 9/16 Wostenholm full hollow. I don't have any other steel that can come close to the edge on this guy.

It would be easier to say the ones I avoid rather than the other way around. However I have two vintage 7/8s Dovos that really are exceptional shavers.

I have found my Wade and Butcher's have been faithful and reliable over the years.

My Jernbolaget gets the job done. Always.

Legendary defines my Robert Williams custom with pre ban ivory and damascus blade. Robert forged it based on a drawing I emailed to him. The drawing was based on a Case Bros Springville, NY razor.

JimmyHAD; that is a beautiful razor!!
Man, I really wants me one of those!

Wade & Butcher 7/8 Barbers Rattler....perfect weight, heavy enough that you know it's there but not so heavy that it's bothersome. Not to mention the scales by Glen
