The more opportunity I get to hone and shave with new and vintage straight razors, the more I am of the opinion that the older blades just shaves better that anything new I have used.
I know my shaving skill improves with every shave and I rotate my blades religiously, but evertime time I use either my Begall 5/8, original Bismarck 5/8 or Hamburg Ring 6/8 the experience is mind blowing. I am not sure how to descibe it, my new Dovo Bismarck which is an exceptional shaver just feels bland in comparison.
What do the more experienced users think of this silly thought? If there is some truth to this, why?
I am off to find more vintage razors...
