Although some have accused me of being promiscuous 
, like most of us, I'm really looking for that perfect match between my razor and it's perfect blade. Like most of us, I do a double take at a nice looking razor. I'll admit that I sometimes stay up late into the night imagining what the perfect blade for that hot new razor will be.
We all know that there are plenty of attractive razors and hot looking razor blades out there, but every once in awhile there's a match that surely was created in heaven. There are indeed razor/blade matches that are breathtaking.
Most recently I pulled out a Personna Red IP, a blade that I've had for years, but rarely took out any more and paired it with the Cadet TP-26. As soon as I pulled the razor on it's first stroke down my left cheek, the sun came out, baby birds cheeped and from the heavens choirs of Angels sang.
I was instantly reminded of why I liked Personnas for their great combination of smoothness and sharpness. Combined with the more aggressive head of the Cadet, the razor amplified all of the positive qualities of that that blade.
End Result - an easy, indeed wonderful shave.
What razor blade pairings take your breath away with their excellence?

with my Feather AS-D1. The good news is that I have found a new perfect match for the Feather Stainless; Treet Dura sharp. It's a classic carbon blade from Pakistan with a coating. It is at least as sharp as the Yellows and very inexpensive!
