Thread: Which is sharper?

Now he's used solids to shave himself for years, and he's been a barber 21 years, so there may be something to it. Or is there?
So with so many of you out there with the experience of both disposable straight razors and the best of traditional blades, I humbly ask for your thouhgts.
Thanks in advance!
