Thread: I Need Some Advice!

Well there is a lot of knowledgeable gentleman here and most of you have shaved with every razor under the sun. My quest is to find a razor that is definitely harder than carbon steel, a razor that the edge will last a little longer and have more cutting power. So I'm finally purchasing a new razor! my first new razor but i need you guys for input. I'm not really picky when it comes to brands but i kinda like the Thiers Issard blade shape better. I am willing to sacrifice looks for performance but i want to stay way below $200.
Thanks in advance guys!

You might try an old Boker or one of the old U.S. razors like Torrey or Thistle cut!

Thanks for the quick reply, I've thought about going down the vintage road again but im thinking more along the lines of new. But your right there are many great vintage razors out that will out shave the new stuff! well i keep my eyes peeled.
thanks again.

The Henckels Friodur are renowned for being a hard blade. It's stainless. The TI's are lead treated so they're harder, but they're still Sheffield carbon steel. Either is a good choice, but I know I've had a challenge honing the harder steels.

Dovos are nice.. What about the SRP limited edition ?
