    Default What is your perfect razor?

    I was daydreaming of all the razors I've owned and loved, and started wondering about the "perfect" razor. Who would make it? What would it look like? What would its features be? And then I began building it in my mind.

    Vintage or new? I'll take vintage. Hollow or wedge or concave grind? I'd prefer hollow, I think. Carbon steel or stainless steel? Whatever, both are fine. And the point? Spike, definitely. How wide is the blade? I believe 13/16" is the magic number. Jimps or no jimps? Jimps, please. Thumb notch? Not[ch] necessarily. Any other special features? I can't think of any. What about the scales? Give me a nice dark brown hardwood, triple-pins in bullseye nickel, and a bright eye-catching wedge (yellow or red or blue or green).

    Okay, so I think my current favorite razor (photo below), despite its round point, is close enough. And the only change would be to add custom hardwood scales. (I'm not sure if unnecessarily removing the flawless original scales is some kind of SRP sin, so I may leave them. But then it wouldn't be my dream razor, would it? Hmm.)

    Anyway, what is your perfect razor?
