Why I Sold All of My "High End" Razors

[TADIII]

@DCP Those are some great looking razors. I really have to hunt for an RFB on the bay. I have a NEW LC but it has the pronounced "bump" in the bottom that limits which handles I can put on it. I get very good shaves from it but I find it too light. If I can find an RFB and put a heftier handle on it like my Weber bulldog, it might just be the cure to my RAD. Does anyone find a difference in the way the NEW RFB and the NEW FB shave?

Long Comb New razors after mid 1932, with the Reissue Patent number, usually offer a wider gap in the “bump” and can accommodate a wider selection of after-market handles.

Yeah, but my point was not chasing rabbits as much as having new experiences.

I hear ya. I'm happy we have so many options to experiment with and enjoy.

'LC' is 'Long comb.' What is RFB?
I only have a Blue tip and a Black Beauty, so not a wide exposure to vintage, but I can't imagine selling off my moderns.

FRB stands for Raised Flat Bottom. There is no bump underneath the base plate.
