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 Not sure where this one was originally made.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

Exactly my point... We know of the razors that we need to stay away currently... So my point is about this thread ... All vintage razors are great.... You can t ID the beat razor Originally Posted by entropy1049

How embarrassing. Via wyobarbershop liking a post or two of mine I see I had posted on this thread a few pages back. Then, idiot me pops up and says "I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but...". That's the problem with me, too lazy to look back through the thread to see if I already said that...So I just go ahead and say it again...
