Thread: Did you ever meet a razor you did not like?

I think on an intrinsic level any quality razor will give a quality shave barring of course defective razors. I think in general some people will prefer certain grinds and sizes or ends or scale shapes. But if its a quality razor its a quality razor.

Chinese double arrows... I've heard people say good things, the two I bought were Zeepks in disguise...

I'm not a fan of blades under 7/8, so I've come across quite a few that weren't my peice of cake even if they shaved well... Felt like toys in comparison.

Otherwise, I've come across a lot of really good blades, and not so good blades. regardless of manufacturer, they can all have their own personality, or flavor.
I really liked my Dovo Bergisher Lowe, it felt nice and smooth, I've honed other Dovos that felt less refined. Same goes for TI's It seems I either love the blade, or hate it. I can't explain why.

Yep, they are deceiving little buggers. I think the confusion came when eBay seller 'open razor' offered a non labeled razor that some guys thought looked like the infamous Double Arrow and called it that. The black handled razor with the double arrows stamp on the tang are pretty much in the Zeepk class. The white handled razors from Poland are very good.
