I was going to do a poll however I want detailed answers to this one so here it is.

In case one you go out a get a vintage razor and it's in NOS condition and you got it for a song but nothing to really look at and it gives you the best shave in the world. You can use it every day for say 4 months and then you have to touch it up. Using a typical hone you can get it back to snuff within 10 minutes or less of honing.

In case two you've bought a fancy custom class razor that cost you at least one arm and it also gives you the best shave in the world and it also goes 4 months before needing a touchup but it takes you hours and hours of honing on a series of hones to get it back up to snuff.

What razor would you rather have and why or maybe what's important to you?
