Thread: What razor to choose ?!

Ead,

One BIG plus for me with SS is the non rusting issue. I have some brand new CS razors which I have only used a few times, and they are already showing spotting in some places on the razors. This is despite my best efforts of totally drying them properly after use (obviously not enough).

John

So, is it better to take SS or a carbon? I know the plus and minus of each one
I prefer Steel, but the question is how much will I be able to keep the edge keen? and can it have a very fine edge like the carbon can?

and btw, no matter who I am buying from, I am sure to have it sharpen for me for the first time

Here's the same topic as discussed over on SMF also.

Yep, well knoe I know what is the different, and I want to buy one
But still
Look at what each people tell me here, it isn't 100% carbon or 100% SS
Every one has is own opinion, and I am not sure what I can get
Can you help or you come here only to make some laugh at me?!

I do know you have great ideas and knowledge to share, so please share it with me, and not just try to make laugh and not to help at all

and BTW
Like I have said before, I will go for the Thiers-Issard razors
The Sheffield Silver steel seem like a nice good carbon to me after all I have read
Now
What to choose? size?

and like I have said before, I also need things to being able to strop the blade and hone it by myself

BTW
Do I need to have it sharpen by Lynn first? or is it come shave ready?
I have heard some guys here tell that the Thiers-Issard are shave ready
and also
If I buy it sharp ready from classicashaving, how much will the blade last until I need to hone it?
I am asking it, because maybe I will just buy a razor and a strop, and maybe later I will get the 4000/8000 Norton and some finner level too

If it were me and I was going to buy a new razor I'd probably buy an entire setup from Tony Miller, but with Tony being away for spring break and all (if I were Tony I'd also refuse your business after what you posted in a different thread) I'd make my purchases from Classic and pay to have Lynn hone the razor. Classic has strops and pastes and nortons. You should be able to get everything you need there.

I did make an apology for Tony!
I even sent him PM, I think the all thing went out of control
Any way
I might buy from classic, they have a really great service, and I love buying from them
But
Every one here tell me about how good is Tony's strops and so on, so I might take the razor I want from classic, but the strop from Tony
How is that?
