    I'll throw out #2, I get a sense of objectivity and neutrality, and just cause.....

    And no #10 looks like a razor AntiqueHoosier would like...

    ALL look amazing!!!! Stop subliminally fueling my SRAD now that I am down to two daily drivers in rotation and a family heirloom.

    Second vote for 4th one from the top

    Yes, the two MK31's I acquired from Sir Zak....and my Great Great Grandfather's W&B but it doesn't get much use. I rotate among the Heljestrands. I quit chasing hardware when I realized that the MK31's gave me as good if not better shave than any other razors I have owned (over 800) and I can't top their natural beauty and the fantastic way they make me feel as I shave with fine Swedish history. I had a spate of a handful of fine Western Japanese razors pass through my hands in the last two months but as amazing as they are (were), the end result was the MK31's shave me like a King and make me feel like one as well. Game over! And actually I am very thankful because I am really enjoying the Zen aspect of the shave experience now that I am pared down and not constantly searching for the next magic razor.

    I'm with Grazor, number 12. Why, simply because it's a little different and so are the Swedes. Perhaps that should read Swedish razors.

    I like this puzzle

    I wish I was experienced enough to see something that would indicate Swiss.
    Otherwise like most everybody else I'm guessing so,.... #6 due to the pattern on the scales

    I'm gonna say #12 as a guess because the pins are different than all the others...i.e. 'washer-less'. I should really know this because I am sure I've held it in my hand at some point in time???

    I'll go with # 12. Something about the shape of the blade, the jimps and the pins has me leaning that way. For first prize I'd be happy with a Robert Wade stubtail in excellent or better condition ....... in case you needed an idea ......

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
