If you could only have one razor and one blade for the rest of your life?

[Guest2023]

I'd rather choose a straight razor if I were destined to use only one razor for the rest of my life.

It's definitely not the best or most comforatable razor in my den. but it's the most fun to use.

Dart / Nacet

If I had to choose only one and could not enjoy a little variety of having several? I would want my razor to be one that I could go back to a single, lonely razor, that would provide a mindless, thoughtless and effortless shave, but still a close and efficient shave.

Trac II handle with Wilkinson Sword Twin II Plus Cartridges. A guaranteed 20 shaves a cart and an efficient and comfortable, DFS time after time without having to even pay attention. An enjoyable, mindless shave.

But if I could have more than one? For some variety and a change of pace? I would have a favorite DE, SE, Injector, Straight, Shavette and yes, even a favorite Cartridge razor. Oh, I have all of those right now.

If it is to be the sole desert island razor, then it cannot have moving parts to be able to break down. That rules out the rocnel sailor 2020 razor unfortunately. It should also be made of a metal that is maximally non corrosive - that criterion sadly rules out the 316L stainless steel wolfman wr2 which would otherwise be most likely to be the winner. That leaves the grade 5 titanium Haircut & Shave P076 the highest performance razor in my collection that is probably the least likely to break down or corrode.

Supposing a cache of an unlimited stash of razor blades of only one brand and type, I would probably choose either the Feather or the Polsilver Super Iridium.

Rockwell 6s + Feder

[DesertDan]

Well, I only have one razor a 60's Gillette Super Speed
I have a half box of Astra Platinum's left and have been very satisfied with them but I could be equally happy with Feather or Shark.

 

[dmshaver]

At this particular moment, my choice is a Timeless Ti .95 SB with Nacet blades.

 

[FloppyJoe]

English Flat-Bottom Tech, Gillette 7 o'clock platinum (black box).

 

[Lefonque]

Sophie’s Choice.
Push came to shove I would choose Wolfman WR1.74 with Nacet blade.

 

[NPK]

I only have one razor, a Tech...and I usually only put BiC blades in it.

 

[Medivh]

RR Lupo DC (or .95 since I rarely use the .72 oc anymore) and Nacet

 

[Marco]

My current* choice would be:

Razor: 1950's Gillette Tech
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

* I must clarify that at this very moment I only own a 1958 Ball End Tech. I'm working with my dear friend John @JCinPA to get more Techs. In particular the Fat Handles, both pre-war and post-war.

 

[EspressoAndAftershave]

If I could have only one, it would my Boker narrow head loaded with a Wilkinson Sword blade.

 

[Jenks]

For now? AS-D2/KAI

 

[Windigo]

Gillette Old Type or Gillette New. Blades only The Bluebeards Revenge.

 

[nav]

Blade: polsilver

Razor: very tough choice between ATT Windsor H and Merkur Progress.

 

[JasonJT]

The Merkur 39c Sledgehammer. You will have to prise it out of my cold dead hands. Still yet to find the perfect blade for it though.

Jason.

 

[thombrogan]

Still yet to find the perfect blade for it though.

My guess is the blade will be made in either Egypt or Russia (which is Nature’s Egypt).
