In no particular order:
Gaines
Friodur
Hess
Wonderedge
Puma
Geneva
Wostenholm
Thistle Cut
Clauss
Bartmen
I'll have to close my eyes to pick the last one. LOL

Ask me again tomorrow and the list will change.

I have your back.

Hello, David:

Yes, that razor was a gift from my older daughter Sonja. It has a special place in my world. Thanks for watching my back, my friend. Stay well.

Obie

Mon - LR Harner 5/8 shoulderless round point.
Tue - Restored Wade and Butcher 7/8 Barbers Notch
Wed - Le Grelot Hospital 5/8 French point
Thu - Flarmonica 7/8 round point
Fri - Fridour 8/8 Spanish point
Sat - Dovo with solid one piece MOP scales
Sun - Mastro Livi new grind


Travel - Gabor Buddel 6/8 Damascus, French Point with mammoth scales.
- Wostenholm 7/8 frameback

Tough question!

Mine would probably be:

Sunday: 15/16 Wacker Antik Spanish point in horn scales
Monday: Iwasaki Kamisori Japanese
Tuesday: Dubl Duck satinedge
Wednesday: Dubl Duck Goldedge
Thursday: W&B 7/8 Wedge
Friday: TI 6/8 Spartacus in bone scales
Saturday: W&B 6/8 silversteel hollow ground

Then my three travel razors:

DOVO Bismarck 6/8
H.G. Long & Co. 6/8 Wedge in bone scales
Boker Edelweisse 5/8 in bone scales

Man, that was a tough choice!

What a nice thread Obie! This won't be easy, and I'll have changed my mind before long, but here goes:

Sunday: Buddel 6/8 half hollow French point in desert ironwood.
Monday: "The Nap" 5/8 full hollow round point.
Tuesday: "Lindsay's Choice" 6/8 full hollow square point.
Wednesday: C Klauberg "Damascene" 9/16 full hollow square point.
Thursday: J Fenton 6/8 quarter hollow barber's notch.
Friday: Electric Razor Co. "Hamburg Ring 13/16 full hollow round point.
Saturday: Buddel 5/8 half hollow French point in amboyna.

And for travelling:
Wallace Armer 5/8 full hollow round point.
Wester Bros. 9/16 full hollow square point.
Dovo 1516 5/8 full hollow round point.

Quite an eccentric selection, now I look back at it.

Well, I don't quite have 7 razors yet--but I'm working on it! So here's my rotation as it currently stands:
1. DOVO 6/8 Special full hollow
2. Chip A Way 5/8 full hollow
3. Bengall 5/8 half hollow
4. Wosty 6/8 full hollow--hefty piece of steel
5. Etched Geneva 5/8 full hollow--the etch has a cowboy on horseback roping a steer--and the blacking in the etch is still intact. I'll try to get pictures up soon.

Since most of what I have is vintage, I use the DOVO as my travel razor--it's replaceable.

I've also got a not-shave-ready Anchor 5/8 full hollow in really cool marbled scales that needs a little work and honing, which I got off of Ebay, and another Wosty 6/8 off of Ebay on the way. I'm shooting for four 5/8s and four 6/8s.
