Nothing earthshattering here.
Just wondering what your favorite
RAZOR and BLADE
combo is.

Mine currently is:
1950-ish Gillette SuperSpeed and a Feather blade

Would you believe '56 Gillette SS with red-tip + Derby?

Slant with Swedish Gillette or one of my better straights, whichever is wielded by Mrs. Shlongini.

TI Pierre Thiers hand Forged is the obvious choice, but if I had to take a DE it would be the Wilkinson Sticky with an Israeli blade.

Fatboy w/ Derby blade

I would have voted this exact thing, up until I tried new blades. My blade collection is about to get completely revamped

What blade(s) are striking your fancy now?

I've got an order placed for the large sampler pack from Giovanni (shipped today, as a matter of fact), so while I can't imagine anything shaving better than a Derby, I'll have a chance to find out! Giovanni definitely has a LOT of blade from which to select...

Joris takes a little more work but makes a good creamy lather like I like. I put the puck in a tupperwear bowl that is a little deeper than usual & I can whip up a lather like nobody's business.
