Thread: Full Razor Experience (which one next?)

Ok, hear me out. I'm looking to expand my stable of razors. I'm relatively new to this, and have been shaving for a few months.
Right now I have opposite ends of the world. I have a new Cmon cadillac that is a hollow ground razor. And a wosty wedge. Both shaves are different, I find that I can get a little closer of a shave with the hollow ground razor. But I do like the beefier wosty as it just destroys any hair in its way.

But now that you know what I've experienced, I'd like to try something new to me and different. What I'd like to know are maybe brands, or grinds to look for in my next purchase. One little note, I like the longer tang that is on the cmon vs the shorter tang on the wosty.

Also I'm not in the market for a higher priced razor, I am talking around or below 100 bucks probably.

under $100 try the srp classifides if you have a full and a wedge try a half grind spike or round whatever is oppisite from what you have now and go with a different width blade there are several styles of blades so look around here http://http://straightrazorpalace.co...wcat.php/cat/3 until you find what you are looking for happy hunting and keep us posted

+1 on the classifieds. Several vendors might have something appealing to you. There's always the bay. If you are selective and disciplined you can do well out there. I have purchased some very nice razors out there for less than $100. One thing to consider when buying one on the bay is that, unless you have the requisite honing skills, I would set aside smoe extra money to send it out for honing. The razor is not likely shave ready.

I know where to find em, more or less, (I picked up my wosty from the classifieds) the question is what should I look for...

+1 on the half hollow with spike or round. This will definitely give you the full gambit to see whats your fav will end up being. Then you can shift to color selection, scale materials and what ever other excuse you can think of for RAD.

I'd like add to the options a fameback - stiff as a wedge, but weight is more like a hollow.
Or try sheffield steel in some hollow way, or may be american steel which will likely be hollow too.
different size, 6/8 may be a good idea too.
How about either a frameback or a 6/8 stiff hollow from sheffield?
