Hi, I've just been browsing the section on brands of razor to choose or avoid.
I have been using a straight razor for about 3 months so I am no expert but the shop I bought from had two razors in the shop both of which were 'Erbe' a German/Sollingen brand.

I haven't seen this brand mentioned on the site so I was wondering if anyone else uses Erbe or has any comments on this brand? The one I bought was inexpensive and I am getting a great shave out of it so I am wondering what the difference is between an expensive blade and the one I have which was about 46 euros?

I have a tough beard to get through so I prep with steam and Proraso pre/post shave and can't imagine why I would buy another model/brand.........

Comments welcome.

Cheers

Ubert
