Thread: Favorite Razor Poll

Every so often, someone will call for a poll of "what is your favorite razor" or best razor etc. I will invariably post that my favorite razors are

Revisor
Puma
Filarmonica.

After 45 years of str8 shaving, I now have to narrow that choice down to one brand of razor.

Definitely PUMA. I just got finished honing a Puma 75 and got THEEEEEE best shave of my life.

I did the standard 4k/8k/12k/Suita/Nakayama/Escher/English Bridle progression and WOW!! Absolutely like butter smooth............

I wish everyone could experience either on purpose or by accident the shave I just had moments ago.

Unbelievably butter smooth is the only way to describe it.


Next razor poll, you can expect a one-word answer from this corner.......... Jerry

I don't have a great breadth of experience, but I have managed to collect a nice variety of about 25 razors. There are many that give a really satisfying shave, but I would have to say that my absolute favorite is my Kropp 6/8 round. Not only is it a wonderful shaver, its nice thick shank and course-cut jimps make it a real pleasure to strop, too.

My WBs are my favorites

Palmera
Puma
Dorko / THIS WEEK

My Mappin & Webb razors are right up there

My favorite is the one my grandma gave me. It's a Seikirazor, Japanese western Extra hollow ground.
My best shaver is the one somebody else sharpened. Larry Andro
My favorite to look at is a For Barber's Use Sheffield 9/8...I don't even plan on honing it. lol.

But, someday I hope I can narrow it down too. I'd like to have one razor to rule them all...but not yet. Congrats Jerry!
