I think you'll find that you become partial to your first razor, assuming it is decent, regardless of make/model. I am growing my new collection, and very often go back to the 5/8 Morley that was my first. It is 'comfortable'.

That said, one of the great things about straight razors is that older, antique collectible razors can shave every bit as well as the newest top of the line models. Just get it honed properly to new steel and you're good to go. Many of the folks on here sell refurbs which are in great shaving shape. - John
