Thread: If you could only keep one straight razor

My Wheatly Brothers Wheat Sheaf (Sheffield) in 6/8 -- because of its heft, size, grind, original scales and pins, its patina, its "persona"

Thiers-Issard Special Coiffeur 5/8. Nothing fancy; everything good.

My home made custom, shaves like no other razor and never seems to loose its edge !
Almost sold it when I first made it due to finances but so glad I didn't.

I've seven razors and if i could keep only one of them any would do as they all give an equally good shave. However i like wedges and framebacks that aren't too big so it would probably be either some of my wedges or Fiskars frameback (it's the only frameback i have these days).

As it is among the Best Allrounder i have in my Collection, my 13/16" Heinrich Klein "Chronik" 1/1 Hollow would be the only
that would keep.

That is a difficult question to answer.
My first Filarmonica EPBD, my first custom, My first Heljestrand or perhaps my First Puma..
I could go on and on really.
All razors I have provides great shaves, so most any of them would do.
The ones I didn't like, has been given away

I'm with Bernando - I've fiddled with every razor that I've ever owned until I found what it needed to be a great shaver. I suspect that most of us do something like that. Now as to what might be my favorite, well, every month or so I will pull out an old friend that I have not used for a while and it will become my favorite for a time. So if I had to pick the One Razor, I'd have to point and say "One of those."

Tough choice and as many have said my current rotation are all great shavers. However, picking only one it would be my old
Hoffritz Best Quality 6/8. It will give me dozens of great shaves with just light stropping.

I could´t choose just one. They would have to be two, because they are two my great loves ,,,,,,,,,
