LOL, yeah a good edge does make all the difference, doesn't it
It's hard finding well honed razors on ebay. There are few guys who know what that is and how to out it, but then there are some who aren't quite there.

And there's nothing wrong to buy the razor that you really like, even if it's just a matter of some gold etch and colorful scales - for many people part of the enjoyment comes from the aesthetics.
