That's a really hard question; they all have special meanings or attributes. Should it be my FIRST razor, or the smoothest or the sharpest or the most enjoyable?
I went with my Jernbolaget, a tacky looking razor in a way, but very nice to use and 'different' looking...
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Is that your home patina job Carl? I remember you posting something about it some time ago.

I always pick my favourite razor by my best last shave which is at the moment a $2 Bengall, cost more than that to post it, but took a real good edge, and is a pleasure to shave with.

Yeah, it is. I used lemon juice, lime juice and warm vinegar! Originally Posted by edhewitt

How come you stopped at the blade? Why not all of the metal? Originally Posted by carlmaloschneider

I did do all the razor apart from the frame. The frame is of course a different metal; not carbon steel... Originally Posted by edhewitt

The photo just looks a bit like you stopped at the tang, must just be light or reflections or something. At first I thought it was my razor, well shapewise anyway, they are a bit similar, though I think the tang on yours is a different shape. Originally Posted by carlmaloschneider

It would have to be my ivory le grelot.
Got it as a wedding day gift from the wife and used it for the first time on my wedding day.

Yeah, the tang isn't as patterned. They are very similar is shape, this one is a little wider... Originally Posted by edhewitt
