Thread: Two Solingens Different results

Ok.I find this weird.Recently I got two old razors.Both Solingen made.None were shave ready.So it was hone time.Both went through the pyramid method on a 3000/1200 German stone.All went well.Then both went through 100 laps on a Chinese stone with slurry.Razor # 1 which is a Gotta was shave ready and buttery smooth.Razor #2 is a no name stamped Solingen on the shank with nice pearl scales is still a no shaver.Can there be such a difference between 2 razors,both Solingen made?Both blades were in the same condition pre honing.I am starting to think (after more honing) on the nameless blade that it will never be sharp.Any ideas on this?Were some Solingen made blades poor quality?
