I was talking with a very respected razor seller and honer and asked him about the Austs.
He said that to him, the
6/8 with spanish point is the nicest (thinnest) blank coming from DE at the present. He pointed me toward:
OXID eShop 4 | 6/8" razor with spanisch crown | purchase online
This was a surprise. I had thought the blades themselves were the same. I was about to choose one just because I wanted shoulderless, for ease of honing. I'd rather avoid a shoulder and a spanish point. But is this where the best actual blank is found?
What i mean is, apart from the features of width or spanish point, etc, is the above listed 6/8 spanish point indeed a better actual razor than other Austs?
Thanks
