Thread: Vintage vs modern straights?

The vintage razors were new at one time. Heck, the Fat Boy and Slim that I started shaving with in 1962 are now considered vintage, which probably means that I'm also vintage. While I have several vintage razors that I love and wouldn't part with, I enjoy modern artisan straights as I can custom order a blade to my own personal specifications, and recently I had the pleasure of visiting two artisans as they were working on my razor. I don't think that it has to be an either/or situation, and I will continue to enjoy both vintage and modern straights.
