Most of my razors are old Gillettes .I have tried a few newer razors a Schone and a couple of Merkurs. I don't see much difference between them. There is something to me about shaving with a 90 year old razor that is akin to something your Grandfather may have used. I'm thinking or trying one of the new RazoRock stainless steel razors sincve they don't seem to break the bank
