Cheapskate?? Maybe, but he did buy a sheffield blade and it apparently worked for him. Different blades require different techniques. Sometimes a subtle tweak of blade angle or pressure and you've suddenly got a beautiful, effortless shave. It could also be that your beard is a bit more challenging than his. Try shaving with it for an entire week and see what your shaves are like after a few days. I know for me, it takes a few shaves to adjust to a new blade.
Also, if those 3 items in the pic were your grandad's... he didn't skimp on the knife or the fountain pen. Why would he with the razor?
