background ifo.
1. I've been into safety razor shaving for almost a decade. I've experienced more than a couple of hundreds safety razors during that period.
I've tried to experience as many safety razors as I could. As a result, I could narrow down 7 razors for my favorites. All of them are vintages.
2. I dipped my toe into straight razor shaving last year. It has passed more than a year.
3. During that period, I've shaved with straight razor 250 - 300 times. The straight razors I've tried are 15.
somethign I've experienced.
1. I've tried to follow the method faithfully. It proved to be easier than I'd thought. I could restore 5 vintage SR purchased from ebay.
2. I've purchased 5 SR claimed to be finished with Jnat from 4 different sellers. All of them weren't that impressive for me, not as sharp as my SR honed with the method.
3. Shaving with SR is the most fun to use. I rarely reach for my safety razors these days.
4. Maintenance is not a big issue except when I clank my SR against faucet and chip my razor. It's the most annoying thing when shaving with SR.
5. It's too early to judge which razor type suits best for me. but up until now my straight razor shaving doesn't match the comfortness and irritation free shaving my favorite safety razors provide. The time and money I spent on straight razors are so small compared to the ones that I did on safety razors so it is not a fair comparison.
6. To get the most satisfying result from SR seems to be taking more time than I'd thought it would be. but I'm enjoying the process and it is getting better.
That's my observation for now.
