So, I have 3 razors, A Torrey, a Wester Bro's, and a gold dollar, and a zak solingen in the post.

The Wester has an awesome smile (honed by Mr. Larry) passes hht decently, and was Touched up by me on a 4/8k -> PHIG-> Crox ->.25 diamond then to to different unpasted strops

The gold dollar was phig-pasted strops-strops as well

And the torrey i honed the same way, then rehoned it from coiticle to phig to crox and either way i hone it, it feels less keen than the other 2.

And it fails hht miserably, you have to smack hairs on it to cut them, and feels smooth with no bite on the tpt.

But this thing kicks ass at shaving!!!???

I get less irritation and the same closeness as i do with the other 2 razors, and i much prefer the heft of the gd for handling, but the torrey exceeds the other 2 razors in every fashion, so its hard to even use the others.

It comes down to me thinking its blade angle, or the steel but idk im new...

Is there any reasonable explanation for this?

Ive only honed about a total of 10 times now, and straight shaving for ~6months at 4x a week
