Thanked: 2755 Favorite Straight Razor
Gentlemen:
I abandoned the idea of crowning one of my straight razors as a favorite after several weeks of piling up favorite razors. For heaven's sake. I finally told myself to forget it and to take each razor for its individual characteristics and quality.
This plan does not include several razors I don't particularly like, or have liked from the beginning, even though good shavers. Those I will sell eventually. Among the ones I do like, all are my favorites.
Regards,
Obie

We were talking last nite at our local KC meet how sometimes you get in a "mood" for a certain razor. Strange, but true.

This will be easier for me than most shavers here.:
F.W.Engels-Solingen. I only have two razors, both are Engels. No RAD...yet!

Both of mine are Sheffields, so my frame of reference is somewhat limited

I have three.
I think my Genco is my favorite. A Golden Seal I picked up off of e-bay. It was ugly and nasty (see my thread http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...here-pics.html ) and I got it cleaned up (to a point) and honed (to a point) and shaved with it with some measure of success.
But, I can't discount my C&S or my Engels Leader. They were my G'G'Grandfather's and G'Grandfather's razors respectively. I haven't shaved with them at all yet though.
Right now all three are with Utopian getting honed up. Only a great exertion of willpower prevents me from bugging him constantly about them.
