I have personally found that what others give rave reviews I usually do not like, and vice versa.
Yes, it is indeed a very subjective arena.

Lighter or less dense? After all, a 10lb brick of titanium will weigh the same as a 10lb brick of stainless steel, though the former will be bigger.Well, not all of it. Titanium is lighter than stainless steel = Objective.
Good catch. More specifically, less dense - lighter per cm^3. "A razor built in the same form factor of Titanium as the identical razor built of stainless steel." Truly objective....Lighter or less dense? After all, a 10lb brick of titanium will weigh the same as a 10lb brick of stainless steel, though the former will be bigger.
I was entirely kidding around. I knew what you meant but couldn't resist playing the irritating pedant over something completely trivial.Good catch. More specifically, less dense - lighter per cm^3.

Not a bit - precision is everything!I was entirely kidding around. I knew what you meant but couldn't resist playing the irritating pedant over something completely trivial.
Thank you for not holding it against me.
That’s just hype. I find that many times these are just folks who are relatively new to wet shaving and everything they try is just the best thing ever, not to mention boards like this one foster the sort of environment where hype can flourish. Reddit is way worse though, so I prefer it here.I have personally found that what others give rave reviews I usually do not like, and vice versa.

Yes indeed! Shaving is a very personal endeavor that (as long as you take the time to find the right kit for your face, skin and beard) can be a very pleasant and pleasurable routine.After a few months of being back into DE shaving, spending time reading about different blades, creams, etc, the bottom line is that shaving is very subjective. It all depends on what works FOR YOU. I have a very coarse beard, especially on my neck, and I’ve read reviews about the best blades and then tried those blades and hated them. I’ve been using my Parker Variant and trying different blades. I’ve hated some that are supposed to be sharp and best for coarse beards and I’ve really liked some blades that have had poor reviews. It just all depends on what feels right and what works right for you. This morning I used a Shark super chrome. I read some reviews that claimed this blade was neither sharp nor smooth. I found it to be one of the smoothest shaves I’ve had so far. No nicks at all and very enjoyable shave. Bottom line: find what works for you and don’t worry if the reviews don’t match up. It’s all about trial and error. I’m slowly getting the hang of this and learning what I like and what I don’t like. That’s all part of the process. Enjoy!
