If you could choose any razor…

[VBH37118]

For me it would be a straight razor of:

• Japanese ACRO stainless steel heat treated to near 70 RHC.
• Half-hollow grind with slight belly on the face side.
• 11/16 blade width.
• Spanish point like the Gold Dollar W59.
• Thumb notch like the Gold Dollar W59.
• Blade mass moment of inertia like the Gold Dollar W59.
• No blade bling.
• Bevel angle at about a 16°.
• A properly honed bevel.
• Ebony scales of traditional profile.
• No stabilisers.
• No jimps.
• Balance point at about the pivot pin when opened 180°.

Of course this would have to be custom made.

I guess you are not really sure what you want

Probably my Henson Ti22. Shaves like the al13 but will obviously last forever.

I would choose a razor that never gives a cut a nic or a weeper. For me I would have a hard time picking just one, that’s why I rotate with different shaving methods.

I know what I want. I am waiting for my local SR maker to return home from the Northern Territory, Australia. Then I will be ordering my first custom SR. I will probably not be able to get the steel that I prefer but should be able to at least get very close to all of my other requirements.

I was only saying that in jest, I meant nothing Ill by it good luck

Schick E2. Duh!

Picking only one razor would be boring and almost like returning to cartridge razors. But if I really have to pick only one razor for the rest of my life, that would be my Schick M3 adjustable.
