    Either my diamond hayashi 8000 or my W&B 'silver combined with India steel'

    Each are are radically different, Both are the best shavers in their own respect and my most cherished

    This is a very hard choice. Very hard. I have about 120 straight razors in my collection and each of them certainly is a cherished one. However, as I have to tell just one, in this moment I go for this:

    I couldn't answer that question if my life depended on it. I'm attached to so many of them, but basically my favorites are the 5/8, 6/8 range with tight scales and self-honed.

    Straight razor shaver and loving it!

    I can understand that. However could you be convinced to give one away ?
