You will quickly discover that certain razor brands will get a lot of praise on the internet forums. Which brand, model etc.. will fluctuate over the years. Many neophytes are drawn to such hype and will blindly fork out cash for such razors thinking they may have magical shaving properties or simply.. pour épater la galerie.

If you want to be sensible with your money, avoid the hype. There are plenty of beautiful and affordable razors out there that will shave as well if not better than the razor du jour.
That's what I'm guessing that even the low end razor should do a pretty good job if they are cared properly.

But I heard about the razor Gold Dollar, do these fit in your category "beautiful and affordable" razors ? Or these ones are an exception ?

And Badgister, do you know a place cheap around Montreal to get new Straight Razors ? If I ever decide to get a second one. One for shaving and one to practice honing/stropping.
