If they ask and state they want feedback I would just point out the "what has been found" with such "artisan" style razors. I would never intentionally pee down a man or woman's back and smile while saying, "My it is a rainy day!"

I think some people here have manners while some are somewhat abrasive and down right arrogant over their opinions to be quite honest. I have run into a few here and I just move on rather than get into a cyber fight. I was once told.........."A person who argues a fool is the bigger fool!"

That said, we can only be supportive and usually those purchases self correct themselves. Now if someone ask prior to buying I do the same. I am no seasoned shaver nor a maker of razors so my 2 cents is not worth even a wooden nickel to any here.

I know a lot of newbies < that being no experience what so ever ask the question "What should I buy?" I always try to steer them toward a Ralf Aust 5/8 round point basic acrylic scale razor which is hands down in my opinion one of the best razors for the money for anyone both new or experienced!

But hey, YMMV and if you feel like torpedo'ing a person I think it just shows your true character. Plus it does run people off when we launch a full Defcon 5 all out assault on one.
