If you could only own one straight razor you had unlimited funds which one
would it be and why?
Interesting question, one that may have be asked here before, unlimited funds in my opinion are not necessary, as my best shaver was bought from a member here for under $70. I choose not to name names when it comes to razors as I feel it would only drive up prices on the bay. :)
Any razor that shaves to my satisfaction, requires minimal maintenance & is replaceable.Quote:

I'd probably want one that I couldn't have at any price ...... :boohoo:
Subscribing so I know what to sell in the coming weeks ;)
An 8/8 Palmera no better blade exsists
You mean you have several of every razor ever made ? :pQuote:

a custom from one of our fine makers all to my own specs !! i dont ask for much , just need the cash-ola ...lol

I have come to realize that the more razors I hone and shave the harder this question has become to answer :)
One razor?.... impossible!
This thread is kinda highlander-esque, "There can be only one" but there was never just one immortal on the show. I bet if someone found the perfect razor eventually they would want a seven day set, you know, with the unlimited funds and all!
I find it fun to shave with different sizes, grinds and and countries of origin so I am of no help on this topic.
From my present perspective of three years experience, I would take a 5/8 stainless steel razor with no etching and an ivory color handle.Quote:

Unless I could have all the custom makers collaborate on 1 razor...thats an impossible question to answer. Even if that were possible...still not as fun, I want at least 1 from each ;)
Unlimited funds means you could buy one of THESE

What a lot of BS marketing. I'd like to see someone try to cut thru a rock with their damascenic razor . :)Quote:

I figure out my preferences and decide what I find works best. In all honesty, I'd be far more shackled by one choice of shave cream or A/S than one razor.
It would have to be my grandfather's razor that I have now.
I might run into those guys someday in the after life & I would sure as hell hate to explain why I sold them out for a Max Sprecher Custom. :nono:
They would understand, I'm sure!Quote:

I'm sure if I really had to pick just one, I could. But let's hope that never happens!
No doubt a difficult choice but I really like my ....well there's. ....and....
I give up!!!!
