Some favorite razors.
I use FutureMe.org to send notes to my future self, and I just got a note from last March. I was thinking about a core collection of a dozen razors that I especially liked.
Here's the list I came up with at that time:

Phoenix & Beau soaps are exceptionally good.
A lovely lavender shave.

When the mundane unexpectedly becomes sublime: an ordinary shave turns into a an extraordinary pleasure.

@ned It's quite good. I do like the iKon Shavecraft #101 a bit better, but that might be harder to find. (It also has comb guard on one side, bar guard on the other.)
The Yaqi Flipside is also quite good and quite a bit cheaper (but not stainless steel):
An extremely good razor that I would say is a stainless-steel version of the Henson razor. I hope Yaqi brings it back soon. (It *just* became unavailable.)

My Thäter 22mm brush with a domed knot just arrived and is exceptionally pleasant — and the low-cost Yaqi Merkur razor is extremely good.
Got a brand new slant, and it's extremely good: Yaqi Slope, a stainless steel slant. More here:

It's always a pleasant thing to find a good razor, and this one I found in my spare-parts box.
It's an asymmetric design — bar guard on one side, comb guard on the other — but symmetric in feel and performance (and excellent in both).
