After trying 10 or more vintage razors, I've decided to purchase modern razors only.
I love vintage ones when it comes to safety razors but I prefer modern ones to vintage SR. I don't know why. It is not superior or something.
Just my personal taste.
But one thing comes to my mind. I already have a Dovo razor. and I've read most modern SR use blade blanks from Solingen, which I guess will be no different from Dovo.
Then, do they shave similarly after it gets dull and honed the same way if all elements affecting shaving quality, like weight distribution, blade width, grind type(wedge or hollow) are about the same ?
If they do, I guess I would better choose Thiers Issard, Portland or other razor companies that use different blanks because I don't plan to purchase many.
Hope to hear your more experienced opinion.
Thanks
