Acknowledging may other factors, I'm making a simple comment that it somewhat has to do with the type of steel the razor is made out of. Holy crap. Believe what you want to believe I guess.
Lesson Learned: Don't share opinion or personal experience on straightrazorplace anymore unless I have a "mentor" tag under my name.
