Maybe I have simple tastes, but I already have it.
It's a 9/8 Wade and Butcher, Celebrated for Barber's Use. Mr. gssixgun put some streaked horn scales on her, and show she's all dressed up for the show. Shaves like a champ too.
That's her beside my W&B 4/8 "Special"....just for a size comparison.

That Lewis is freaking sexy... Does it shave as good as it looks? As I am a newbie, I am assuming Lewis razors all shave very well? They cost a small fortune but look crazy awesome!

I am pretty happy with most all of my razors, but I have narrowed them down quite a bit to what works best for my face...
My target razors are normally 5/8-6/8 extreme hollow grinds spike points, normally of the USA or Solingen persuasion... If they have bright fancy "Cracked Ice" or "Blingy" scales all the better...
That being said, the Hayashi #8000 Diamond IMHO is about the most perfect razor to sit in my stable
Bright shiny blingy scales, a covered tang, satin gloss Swedish steel. hollow grind, spike point, and a sliky smooth feel on the face.. This razor is hard to beat in my eyes...

I would have to say the following are my dreams right now
NOS: Fili #14
New: pretty much any Wacker
antique store find: any 6/8 or 7/8 (either sheffield or nys) with good steel left on it that will take an edge.

I thought I had knocked off the last razor on my "to get" list when I scored an MK33 awhile ago, but you go and post this and make me remember that I've longed for a Hayashi extreme hollow ground blade. I have a 1/4 hollow one and it is arguably the best 1/4 hollow razor I own. I have more of a preference for full hollow blades so I can only imagine what this one is like.

You can totally shave both sides of your face with just one arm, all you need is a significant other that you can trust to stretch your skin properly. where this is a will, there is a way! just sayin....

Unfortunately, I sold my significant other into slavery so I could buy my 1905 Gillette Double Ring.... Originally Posted by alb1981
