For those that have had the pleasure to try both honing and using some of the old English razors I ask you this,
Have you come to any conclusion as to which Maker seems more consistent in steel quality?
Which have surprised you and become regular shavers?
I'm talking of the bigger makers, W&B, Wostenholm, Joseph Rogers, Frederick Reynolds...
I have only had 5 W&B's over the years and only one, which is "cast steel" full hollow, is a quality razor IMO.
I recently picked up a Frederick Reynolds and am very impressed will its steel.
I have one other English razor, a King William, that I think is the finest English Razor I've ever used.
I know there are many small makers and some may be great razors, but of the big names from long ago, what is your opinion?
