    Right now I would keep my Joseph Elliot Patent Frameback. Love that razor. It's teaching me how to shave better (so to speak).

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

    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).
