Today's favorite, only because it came to mind first and I was able to find a pic I posted a while ago, is the Boker Elite. Wonderful shaver. I'll have to dig it out of the vault and take it for a spin when I finish the current lineup, if I can remember to do so. Otherwise it will come into rotation with the rest of the Bokers and get it's turn then.

Right now I have three, the 8/8 Brian Brown, 13/16 Toyo and 13/16 Globusmen. Giving a slight edge to the BB, enjoying the 1/4 grind a lot.

Right now it's this little guy! It's a 5/8 Flaschner 1/2 hollow with a 3" blade. Shaves like a dream and holds an edge for a long time.
Honing progression
1. pyramid 4000/8000
2. 50 laps naniwa 12k
3. 100 laps Nakayama Asagi with water only, no slurry
To touch up
4. 10 laps on hard wool felt with 0.5 micron crox
5. 25 laps on webbed SRD material
6. 50 laps on SRD Bridle IV
Perfection....

Toss up between my Hess 11/16 and Droescher 5/8. Probably moreso than my expensive customs. Go figure.

An unmarked 5/8 full-hollow with faux tortoise scales. I really like the way it shaves.

My favorite seems to change with time as I learn the quirks of each of my razors. Lately it has been a nondescript Ontario Cutlery 5/8 full hollow. Last week it was a Toyo Scheön Burg frameback and before that it was Landers, Frary and Clark full hollow. Before that.........
