I haven't waded through all the replies, and of course the answer is very subjective, but has anyone mentioned the Burrell Top Flight? Specifically the 5/5 full hollow? Very nice razors I think, with very fine, thin steel and excellent shavers. The scales may not be fancy at all but serviceable, and the wings logo on them is WAY cool...
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

I'm not sure if it was mentioned here but there is a thread that describes the Top Flight as a best shave contender. I honed and shaved with one in the past month and totally agree. Thumbs up!

I'm really into these US store Brands. Not sure where this one was originally made. Been using it in rotation for the past 2 days and it's reminded me how nice it is. Well balanced, nice shaver.

I will vote for my Kinfolks blue steel little valley ny. Of all the razors I have no matter how much they cost it's the one that shaves me the best and it didn't cost more than a good honemiesters to get it scary sharp and very smooth, I love the US steel. Tc

Torrey, Genco, Geneva... the list is long! The little Bowdin's Wedge was made in St Paul MN/ MPLS, MN.
All of these have shaved me well!

Geneva and torrey for sure... You know ... We need a list of vintage razors to stay away from... In my experience (short) most vintage razors are great shavers... Especially if they are in mint conditions...

I have never heard of any disparaging information regarding the quality of any vintage razor manufacturer. I suspect if there ever were any, they've been long since relegated to the scrapper, thus our ignorance as to their existence... Originally Posted by robert2286

I have 2 CF Wolfritz razors from Allentown, PA. I believe they were made there because none of the razors by them are stamped with any other locations i.e. Solingen. They are some of my finest shavers.

I may have ~doz of more American made razors. Some shave well but they're balance is off. They just don't fit my hand for Stropping .
