I created a razor I really like. It has the chromed head from a Merkur HD, and the handle of a 1950's Star DE razor that I had replated in 12k (?) gold.
It is bright and beautiful to look at. It is a fairly aggressive shaver with Shark, Astra, or Dorco blades. And the size, weight, and balance seem outstanding to my hand and face.
It is in my weekly rotation, and is in happy competition with the usual suspects: Fat Boy, Slim, Aristocrat, NEW, '48 Super Speed, Segal, Sheraton, Gem 1912, and Schick G. I consider this grouping to be "the 10 best."
I would like to hear of any other successful creations.
Any suggestions for a name? Maybe Star King?
