Let's hear them and lets see them. We all have the ONE that never lets us down or was just our favorite one in the lot.

Talk about a blind buy but it was one of the best purchases I made in 2010 was my 7/8 Carl Herder Quo Vadis. Extremely amazing shave, wickedly comfortable edge and a peach to hone:wink2:

This is a very difficult call... Mmm...

If I have to pick only one: 13/16 - The Celebrated Emperor - Napoleon - German steel with White mother of pearls scales - Restoration by Oz.

It was in a very poor state when I got it. The edge was sticking out of the scales when closed, I wasn't expecting much from that one. Then, I got the straight back and love it! I haven't honed it yet, this one is going strong!

This Gilbert Raffin 13/16 never, ever let's me down. Perfect shave every time and the only razor I have finished "only" to a coticule level and feel no need to go to the escher or charnley.

Boy, that's like asking the University of Oregon players which uniform they like best. They must have 100 jersey, pant, and helmet combinations and they are all way out.

Although selection is just about impossible, I think the I would go with the 6/8 Friodur I purchased from Jake on B/S/T this year:

I actually didn't have a go to razor. I just tried to rotate through them and pretty much used a different straight straight everyday.
 
This is my very favorite razor, bought it from Mr. Bob Keys. It shaves as good as I think a razor can.

A Covalt and Smith 11/16

This is the razor I'm most proud of, I got it for $25 without even knowing if Boker was a good name or not. It shave's as good as it looks.

This one: Erik Anton Berg 5/8 Full hollow. Now that I have tried a bunch of others, it is by no means my favourite but for about two months it was the only one I had.
