I believe you are correct Jimbo. For a short time I only bought well known razors precisely for that reason.
This thread has gone in many directions but if I recall the original question correctly, I think it was essentially if there are any razors that have survived the fad faze over time and remain a solidly rated and preferred buy. Basically, what straight razor has been around for a long time, was a great shave 80 years ago, and remains a great shave to this day.
To me that varies - I believe it to be a personal preference. I find wonderful shavers every week that I never knew existed. Some that I like today may not be so favored once I try another one for the first time. But as far as one that seems to be preferred by many and that has been favored for decades, I would maintain that with 2 or 3 general exceptions that answer will be different for most. And those general exceptions are what the originator of this thread is searching for - I believe.
If one applies that same question to autos, some will say Benz or Lexus or BMW but others will vigorously disagree and support VW or Bently or Zil - just depends upon your location, taste, and wallet.
Good question and discussion though!
