rodd: You really need to identify your razors for the newbs....................I mean. uh......ME :ashamed001
No sir, that is a genuine Knotty Badger EJ Gregorian (the metal part is off a broken EJ Gregorian, I turned the hanlde) Sorry. I labeled them now.
Thanks, man..................didnt mean to bust your chops, but I thought that mighta been some of your handiwork :love055 Nice stuff.
I got a Knotty Badger razor, too. Very nice work, indeed! Gotta get pics, or just steal the ones Rodd took. If I can find them.
Indeed you do, Knotty Badger razor #1 belongs to you! I pulled this image out of your royal brush thread
Okay my top 3. I will classify them as DE, SE and Unusual. The DE is my '36 Gillette NEW with Thick Handle from a Red & Black set. My SE is my '11 GEM Jr. Lather Catcher with 2 piece handle and stropping attachment. Finally the Unusual class. That one is my Rolls Razor Of course I have another 24 razors, both DE and SE that I use in my regular rotation but these three are the ones that jump out quickest when I am asked this question.
I've tried super speeds and I umm... well, I don't like them. I have a red tip a tech and some other SS collecting dust in my medicine cabinet, and there they shall stay. The only DE I use nowadays is my Futur. THAT is a great razor.
I only have three safety razors, but two of them are my favorite. The one I currently use is a Merkur travel safety razor that I bought on leesrazors.com. I bought it five years ago when I moved out of my parents house, and had wanted a safety razor. The second one, which I do not use is a vintage Gillette that belonged to my grandfather. My father gave it to me ten years ago, and it is literally the first shaver I ever owned.
