Favorite Straights

If you had to take one straight razor you currently own with you into the next life, which one would it be?

Or list your top three favorite razors.
 
This is bound to change as i get round to cleaning and honing my stockpile, but at the moment;
Sabre
glidon
kropp
these 3 seem to give me the most comfortable shaves at the moment, and seem to hold thier edge as well!

It's like asking which is your favourite kid... :laugh:

I didn't get my straights back from Oz yet so I have a bunch of them that will be coming in freshly honed that I didn't try...

But for now...

Limiting us to 1-3 razors implies we are going down to the warm place; no heaven I care to envision imposes such draconian restrictions. I for one, intend to go to a place that is cool and breezy, one where straight shavers can bring all the blades their heart's desire.

Dude...not fair man. That's like asking me to choose which arm is my favorite arm (left or right)? Can't do it, just can't do it. They all have their own personalities and little quirks that make them unique.

If I HAD to choose between my straight before I had to let into the next life, I would just choose to live in purgatory for eternity with ALL my straights :lol: .

You're not kidding. I can't even narrow it down to my old razors or my new ones.

I realized I posted a pic of these earlier, so in the interest of consistency I'll keep these three. (For now.)

I'll just narrow it down to my top Sunday razor before 7am; Filarmonica #13, then it just varies by the hour.
