Sorry the "which is a pain" was directed at the 1cm at a time thing... meaning I'd have to learn this scything that you talk of. But scything makes me nervous because thats the same stroke I use to carve big thick slices of turkey breast....
Which is why I'm asking about technique. I WANT to learn.
I think what I established is as shaves go I love full hollow Solingens. But honestly, touching that thing to my face teleported me back 100 years. While all my razors are vintage, that thing felt the most real. Like I felt it was the 1900's and I was shavin' it old school. It was Nostalgic. Sure all my razors make me feel cool and are fun and stuff but thats the only one I thought of as an antique or old. I'll probably end up with a few Sheffields for my RAD and display, and it is mandatory in my opinion that they are big wedgy and smily cus thats what makes em 19th century ballah'. And I feel buying something useless is stupid... so I want to learn how to shave with all my blades. So while I like Solingens and will continue to spend more than I can afford on them, I'll keep an eye open for nice display Sheffields... but I have to learn how to shave with those beasts first...
