What is your favorite razor? Why?
mach 3 ;-) No no wait, a Schick Quattro. hehe
Seriously, my 7/8 Puma high class with tortoise. Great balance, beautiful to look at and hold, and gives a fantastic shave. Very smooth. I'm not sure how some steels shave better than others when honed identically, but they do. Maybe it's in my head. I know a pretty razor shaves better, no matter what kind of steel. And my cars run better after I detail them. My imagination? Who knows...........................Jeff
I only have a handful of razors, but my favorite is my Geo. W. Korn, followed up closely by by my Comfort. I want to get better at restoration before I buy a fancy razor like a puma or dubl duck. Someday, I'll get a brand new razor (probably a TI) just to see what that's like :)Quote:

Wow thats a hard question because I have several favorites. I really like my DDs both the satin, gold and wonderedges. My Puma high class is also great as is my TI Pierre Theirs special edition.
a Dovo "Special" 5/8 and a TI "Evide Sonnant Extra" 5/8. If I had to choose a favorite between the two, I would have to give the nod to my TI. I just seem to get a better shave with it. It also seems to keep a better edge.
I've got two more coming, though. I've got a Hen & Rooster 5/8 coming from Tony and a SRP L/E TI 6/8 coming from Ray via Lynn.
I can't wait to add them to my arsenal!!
My favorite, probably because it has the best edge of any that I own, is a Black Diamond.
You've got good taste, Prof! :) I think you just mentioned one of the best kept secrets in this little world of ours. I've got three of them for that very reason.
I like the Pumas, too.
My very favorite of all, though is probably one no one else has ever heard of: Kavall. I've got the only one I've ever seen. It's over-the-top for shaving abilty.
next in order would probably be the B.Diamonds, Pumas, Dorkos, Henckels, Robesons, W.Butchers, Genco, Torrey, Clauss.
well i have had a dovo bismarck and a 5/8 puma and some others and the 7/8 henckles friodure. but my favs are the two TI's i have now: the 6/8 bison horn and the 6/8 SRP razor. two different extremes: the bison is heavy, spine heavy and massive and a nice exotic handle. the club razor is light, nifty, and nothing fancy as far as scales, but it shaves me better on the neck
