Thread: Which of your razors holds the best edge???

Which of your razors shaves most comfortable, and takes and holds the best edge out of your collection?

My wackers #1,#2 my japanese westerns.

torrey
trud
friodur
l'elan

sofar my 5mm large hone wear workhorse, the #60 Charlex..

but seeing as that's my ONLY razor i've got at this moment (3 others are en-route).. this isn't very helpful information :P

Le Coultre
Old Timor "Special" (Way before the new grinds out, they used to make a decent razor)
Kamisori fixed blade. I have no idea what it say on it, but it keeps a serious edge.

My most comfortable shaver is my J Waostenholm EBRO. As far as edge retention, just about any of my American blades and my vintage Bismark fit the bill quite well.

Revisor would be the best. Filly right up there to.

Believe it or not, a Chronik is probably the sharpest , 'best' , I've got. OTOH, I've got too many to really make the call. Rotate through too many too often to really judge. That Chronik blew my mind though, it was so good. Anyway, I believe most all quality razors, correctly honed, are close in performance. If not equal, certainly close to it. YMMV.
