Having a dream razor is a nightmare. Once you get it, it is no longer a dream so you dream on. Gets very expensive. I love the pattern welded steel and have two. I have two other customs that are incredible as well as some other razors. I keep dreaming and some day SWMBO is going to cut something off my body. At that point I'll stop dreaming.

You guys are thinking too simple about the model of razor you want.
I don't care who manufactured it, I want a razor that shaved someone famous/legendary e.g. GEN Patton, George Washington, Salvador Dali, Churchill, Gandhi (he shaved right? )

great posts
i have found a Maestro levi mammoth ivory for all to see (on google of course). I don't even want to know the price of this thing but it is a beauty.
Dream razors are bad. Only yesterday i was saying how I would be satisfied with a DD GE today I realized I didn't want on GE but a seven day set of GEs. I should get my google programmed to not responed to searches involing straight razors.

I read a article once. back in the day of crusades and the catholic church being at it peak in power. the churches had sacred things brought back to them from the crusades pieces of the cross, a piece of the cloth the Jesus was wrapped in, etc. Well the article went on to say that if all of these pieces were to be gethered you could have built 3 crosses and wrapped the bodies of 4 people.
What I am trying to say is unless George Washington were to give me his razor personally I would not me exited if I saw his razor being sold on eBay.

a MINT or NOS Filarmonica EPBD with the white, clear red, clear blue or clear green (if they made one this would be the TOPS) scales that cost what they cost when they were first made!

I'm not trying to burst anyone bubble. just saying why George Washington's razor doesn't tickle me as much as it would the next guy.

Thanked: 247My dream razor would be a family heirloom. If ever I met some of my grandfathers brothers, and they had managed to keep a razor that my great grandfather had used, I think I'd be set. Ofc, it'd be nice if it was in decent enough condition to be restored as well.

Thanked: 58Same here. While I'm dreaming, I'd have to go back in time and encourage my ancestors to actually make something of themselves, record their life in a seal leather bound journal, pass down enough of an empire to last 20 generations, and pick up two of every eccentric item and obscure/custom razor they could....one for themselves... and one for the one who would come and be known as (insert my name here).
