Hey guys,
It's that time again ha. I'm looking for a new razor to replace the one i'm using now. The razor I shave with now is an unknown brand or steel type bought from some antique store. It gets the job done but I find that even with good stropping technique and what not I still seem to have to touch up on the naniwa 12k fairly often (every 3-4 shaves or so)...is that normal? Anyways...currently I'm considering either something like a thiers-issard or I've also seen razors from Hart Steel. Does anyone have any experience with the razors from Hart Steel? Their website says the blades are made from "O-1 steel"..of which I don't know anything about and would appreciate knowing how good these razors are. The thing about them aside from their simplicity in appearance that I like is the hex-nut where I can tighten it easily. BTW, I've had a Dovo 5/8 but this time I want to go with a slightly wider blade with 6/8.
Thanks!
