Your Holy Grail.

[dope slap] And then I post here... (sigh). I'll reply on the new thread

 

+1

A user grade Double Ring, no case etc.

 

A NOS Rubberset brush.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Darwin Deluxe

 

Maybe not my holy grail, but if I came across something like this, I'd certainly be interested. It's an awesome travel set.

 

A while ago, a member here got lucky and found one as part of an ebay lot, but the pricing on them has become beyond insane.

 

Is he shaving backwards?

 

WOW. Just when I thought I'd seen it all.

 

Good eye. Shaving in bizzaroworld.

Well, it does say that the razor solves "every shaving problem ".

Like a Prince.

 

Touché.

 

Something going on with the eyes, too. It's almost like he's trying to watch the razor. Hmm... maybe it's an enchanted razor? (He is a Prince, after all.)

The whole picture is odd and just keeps getting odder the more you stare at it.

 

I'd stop if I were you. Blindness, insanity, nobody needs that.

(Or just tell yourself he's starting a second pass over the area he just shaved)

He just needs to reverse the polarity.

 

"I know what you're thinking. 'Is he shaving backwards, or is he just doing a second pass?' Well to tell you the truth, in all the excitement I kinda forgot myself."

 

A Darwin DE razor for me, even though I use mainly Straights now.

My other holy grail item was a Suehiro Gokumyo 20K hone, but I currently have one of those in the post as I type along with a SG10k.

I have a lot of stuff and really shouldn't be craving for anything!!!!

 

Iberia or Palmyra 14 straight razors.

 

As far as razors go, I still have a few, but I continue to troll for them dreaming of someday finding one at reasonable cost.

First, a Swing with this handle. I have three others, but not this one.


The Cavalier set:



The Darwin DeLuxe:



I have found a couple of razors that I have searched for very, very extensively, and these two absolutely lived up to the hype. Unique and great.

The Kirby Beard & Co.-- Gentle, comfortable, very efficient, superb. I have the one on the left, and recently found another variant of that handle:


And the LeResche 77. This a monument to the strange and excellent cultural phenomenon of French engineering and design. It's a well-made Citroen of the razor world. It looks funny, comes apart strangly, feels bizarre, has a mind-blowingly wide blade gap in a huge head that renders a great shave:



That all said, I am not searching as hard as I used to be for razors. Brushes however are another matter entirely...
