Thread: Why does this steel feel different.

I have a sheffield razor from 1890-1900. It is 5/8 or 11/16 and the steel feels much different than any other razor I have. Even other sheffields that I have had. It feels heavy or substantial. It is very hard to explain and I have tried researching here and on the web but haven't found much. Other razors feel kind of tinny compared to this one and I haven't a clue as to why. It kind of feels like tool steel whereas every other one I have feels almost cheap in comparison (although they are not). Maybe this is a cheap one and that is the difference? I know many people on here have a range of experience with older blades and was just wondering if you have come across this before or if some may have a guess.

Edit: it is a hollow ground blade.
