Straight Razors with thin blades

[Hthomas]

I picked up a Robeson
36 M 400 razor some time ago. Robeson says it is ground for a tough wiry beard and very tender skin. I absolutely love it. It has become my go to razor.
The thing that stands out to me is the is it is wicked thin, holds an amazing edge and sings as it cuts. That's all I can see that's different about this wonderful razor.
I'm new to straight razor shaving ( a little over 9 months ) and am sure so of you more experienced SR guys know of other razors like this. I needs you help !

There are a lot of extra hollow and singing blades out there for those who prefer that profile. You can see it in the end shot on many of them. Generally that is not my go to razor, but i do have a Torrey that is a very thin and shoulder less blade that does give me incredible shaves. Any of the new razors advertised as singing are usually very thin extra hollow too. Are you shopping for a new blade or vintage?

To read Robison's descriptions on the blade models is entertaining. I wish I could try them all and feel what differences actually are there. Of course, the 'nervous man' models were round-points!

Great razors, Robisons. Lots of American makes did similar work. Take your pick? Condition is, of course, everything!

I prefer vintage but am open to any excellent shaver.
I have a Ern that is extra hollow that is not at all like this robeson. I even have a Robeson 15 L 400 also is ground for wiry beards and very tender face that doesn't shave as wonderfully as this razor. I'm not rally sure what makes the razor the dream it is. I hope you experienced guys can help figure out how I can duplicate these shaves

Thin blades take more work for me to get a close shave. I prefer a quarter hollow.

Why dont'cha post pics of the Robison dream-shaver? From the end too so as to show the grind?

It so thin it's difficult to photograph, but this is it...

Definitely a 'nervous man' Special, Hthomas! 1st pic shows it pretty darn thin on the bottom half!

It's sharp like a shavette, but really holds a great edge. A dream to hone too!
I've shaved with 8-9 razors. Dubl Duck wedge, to an extra hollow Ern. A dovo Frank Bracht to a few swiss razors. None are as thin, nor sing as loud. It rings as it cuts. I've not experienced anything like it....
I've yet to try a quarter hollow.

Man, sometimes you just get a good one! I am happy that you have.
Searching and buying, selling and trying again. ........... What it will take to find another.
Welcome to the madness!
