Sextoblades big fan , not like the real deal ,, bendy forgiving quality steel....origanal / sextoblade jr / medical...barbershop junior is opencomb , probably better shave

Last but not least , first straight I was hooked on ...union Spike , something about old western railroad

The first one I bought was fantastic , until I made small chip and now it's ****** ,, bought 3 more in attempts to replace the first great shaver ...

Now just kinda pissed I have them , should of took instinctual judgement .. forget that union crap . .get rid of that union ,

Ps . Shaves like sextoblade kinda, as in stiffness , kinda forgiving Barish ...could never duplicate my 1st ....cheap old steel

That's a very good start, you're clearly standing on the edge of the rabbit hole. Most fall into it and then there's no return just a free fall into a bottomless pit. You'll enjoy it. Most do.

The 7/8 razors won't be a problem to get rid of if you don't like them, plenty of others do.
 
Yes , I went in rabbit hole....
Thanks , for being so inviting and always responding to the forum ,,Polar

I don't hate the 7/8 ... Happy to have them in collection..

Anyway after trying various soaps , if I could recommend one product to you would be ...stirling soap factory ( pretty powerful and amazing stuff)

Similarity is in the eye of the beholder.
I've never owned any of the Old Sheffield variants so I'm unable to make an objective comparison.
