Thread: Are some razors just better than others?

I have 3 razors, a wapi, a bengal and an unbranded razor made for a Manchester businessman back in 1910. Of all of them the Manchester razor is unbeatable it lasts for ages before honing and just suits me. The wapi is ok but lacks that certain something but that is a personal thing. As for the bengal, it really doesn't seem to suit me that much. I don't know why - it is a lovely razor but never seems to get that close.

I guess in my case it is a face, whiskers and razor combination. They all came from the same seller and were all superbly honed. But I think it comes down to how you fit the razor.

Not sure if this helps but my 2pc worth.
