    Default Must Try Before You Die Razors...

    Which razors really did it for you and that are benchmarks for whatever it was they provided at the time?

    I've read some interesting stories like this for things like Cigars but never Straight Razors.

    Trying to build a Bucket List of sorts and very interested in what people have to say.

    Over the years there have been many, here's a few of them:

    My first custom razor, a Robert Williams, was such a joy to receive. Beautiful, big and a super shaver.
    My first Filarmonica Especial Para Barbas Duras, still to this day my favorite out of all of my 250 razors.
    The very cheap C.V. Heljestrand MK33 in Ivory. A stellar shaver with looks second to no razor out there. IMHO.
    A Japanese western ground Kikuboshi. This one has some insane steel in it. It takes, and holds, a crazy sharp yet very smooth edge.
    The Buddel custom in Damascus. It came with an edge on it that had me sit down with my hones for months on end. I had never been able to achieve anything like that edge before, nor had any of the many I had bought up until then been delivered with such an edge.

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....
