Thanked: 2I use both cartridge and safety razor to shave, and now hoping to get a Dovo straight razor.
some article said disposable blades pull up whiskers a little before cut
Really wish to know so that I can decide which model I want to try.
And it's been like a myth to me that many say straight razors manufactured some years ago perform better than those produced today, even they came from the same brand. I wonder what makes the difference. The materials has changed? The way they forge them changed?
There may have been a different standard used (or a standard may not have existed) back in the day. My guess is that modern methods of forging are superior to those used in the 1800s. Standards for things like razors, surgical tools etc are much higher than they once were.
Now you can probably buy cheap razors from China that are inferior to things made 100 years ago but a modern straight razor from a reputable manufacturer (think Dovo or Theirs-Isssard) will be as good, and probably better, than anything that has come before it (these manufacturers have long histories and reputations to uphold).
