I really really enjoyed my Mappin Lancet Edge and my DePews Perfect Razor... those were the last two I shaved with.

Big Joe (pictured) is my favourite. Next in line is my John Watts "B4 Any - Super Razor" seven-day set.
I've had several more "fancy" razors, customs, etc. But these old Sheffield razors still work best for me.

Hard to say as all my razors shave well. Probably my old Jernbolaget razor.

I sold my best western razor. It was a 'Black Demon'. German made 5/8 spike.
Lately I'm enjoying my 2 kamisori an Iwasaki & a Kobayashi.The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

I sold the best shaver I ever had, and I'm not saying what it was until I get a new one safely in my rotation.
I'll say that it was Swedish, but that's all for now.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

It's a real hard call because I've got about 10 straights that I know will give me a fantastic shave but the one that always just feels that fraction better is a Wostenholm frameback.

For over all feel, balance, heft and all I would have to say my Bell, Belfast. It's a near wedge heavy blade with a thick spine and long blade that really solidifies my perfect shave and feel for a razor.
I'm also torn about replacing the scales with vintage horn scales as it may change the over all feel of the razor... but I will do it when I find the scales, so I can put the pressed Boker scales on a Boker razor that will fit the nicely :/
