I agree, my Platinum is the razor I shave with. I like smaller blades, easier to maneouver. Do you know when they were made? I've heard anywhere from between 1910 and 20

I still like my Dovo Shavette the best. It doesn't look all that great, but when I put a fresh blade in it, it quickly reminds me that it's the sharpest straight I've got. Make a mistake with it, and it just laughs at you while you reach for the Styptic pencil.

My favorite razor is a Gebrüder Stoll Foche - Solingen 925 11/16" no other razor shaves as good except my Feather RG but that's not really a straight razor.

My favorite razor is a pair of EDECO extra hollow ground razors that I inherited that were bought for my grandfather by my uncle and were part of a 7 day set.

You, sir, are a lucky, lucky man to have heirloom razors in good shape. I have my great-grandfather's two razors--a Wostenholm and an Anchor--but neither is useable. The Wosty has a SERIOUS frown, and the Anchor has a crack in the toe about 1/4" from the edge that runs about 1/3 the length of the blade

I'd say which ever one I use on a given day. However, like Obie, I prefer some more than others.

At the moment, it's my C.V. Heljestrand No. 23, 11/16 half hollow, since that is at this my smoothest and closest shaver. My third self-honed razor, BBS in one pass with touch ups. Shaved with it once, and after I get through my pile of restorations and to-be-honed razors, it'll probably be another one.
I'm guessing either my stubtail Bengall or C.V. Heljestrand MK 31. Or my Klas Törnblom faux frameback in ivory, etc. etc.
