One razor one blade for ever

[Dodger59]

Leaf Twig with any number of blades. Certainly I would be happy with Personna blades made in Virginia.

 

[reformedshavr]

Gillette Fatboy / Personna Med-Prep or Lab Blue

 

[bittenfatten]

What if you could ONLY use one razor and oneblade forever. Which razor and blade would you pick?

I would pick the FaTip Piccolo and I would choose the Feather blades. IMHO the best combo I ever used.

Merkur Slwdgehammer slant and Feather blade

 

[SharpieB]

Likely my Wolfman WR2 1.35 with a Polish Polsilver blade. I would be happy with only that. Bored, but happy!

 

[DougK]

I'd say any Gillette Tech (the Gillette Super Blue version is just fine) and Gillette Super Blue blades. I've used many other razors and blades but this seems to be the most consistent combo I've used in 14-ish years. Or just give me a bunch of Gillette Guard handles and carts, that would also be fine.

An Astra SP in the Blackbird Ti.

Or

A Wizamet in my Chiseled Face Legacy Ti.

Sophie’s Choice.

The whole idea sounds so wrong to me. Enjoying new razors, new blades, new handles... that's a lot of fun. And you can collect all that stuff and talk about it.

It took me a while to assemble my little tribe of razors... They are still in discussions, trying to decide who the leader is... no consensus as of yet and I kind of like it that way. I wouldn't want to reduce them to just one.

Variety is the spice of shaving.

Variety is the spice of shaving.

Yes, indeed. And the spice of life. While Sriracha sauce is my favorite sauce, but there I have to limit myself to one with zero to low garlic scent for practical reasons.

That's like the question what's your favorite book if you are an avid reader. The same reasoning as for razors applies there, I enjoy many for different reasons.

Blackland Ti Blackbird with

• Nacet (PPI blades may disappear)
• Permasharp (PPI blades may disappear)
• Feather
• Israeli Personna Reds (have disappeared from mainstream buying)
• Personna lab

The SS Blackbird is also great and if there was no Titanium Bird, that would be my razor.

 

[Zora]

I don’t want to settle for one razor and one blade, but “gun to head” it would be my Timeless Ti95OC with the English Wilkinson London Bridge.

 

[Dave himself]

Piccolo and a Permasharp.

 

[Trikuha]

Tatara Masamune + Feather

 

[50 daily passes]

Bevel Razor (all I use anyway)

Astra Superior Platnum

 

[nav]

I've been there for the last 12+ months with my ultimate combo of blackbird/BIC.
Superb duo!!

 

[musicman1951]

Wolfman WR1 and PolSilver SI

 

[Alexland]

Feather AS-D2 with a feather blade. Mild but super efficient for me

I'd pick that if someone else was paying - else I'd go for the AS-D2 with Astra SP blades as good enough.
Mild razor with a sharp blade might be boring but it does a very good job.
Being stuck with an aggressive razor forever would be awful.

 

[Tirvine]

I seem to have made that choice already, Personna Lab Blues. They are made in the USA, reasonably affordable, last a couple of weeks, and give a close and comfortable shave. I have tried others that were a little better at the outset, notably GSBs and Nacets, but the Lab Blues tic all of my boxes.

Oh, and the razor is an Above the Tie Windsor with a mild copper base plate. Although I would be fine using it and no other forever, I have not ruled out the possibility of a slant. The interest waxes and wanes.

 

[BobbyB]

At this time:

King C Gillette razor with Bic Chrome Platinum blades

This combination is working quite well for me.

Fat Boy and Personna

 

[Mr Konrad Dundee]

Wolfman WR1

Which WR1 sir?
