When comparing razors, it is easy to feel differences due to size/grind/weight - and one should also note that these three factors are interrelated (as I mentioned above, if you have two razors with the same hollowing but one is larger than the other, the larger one will be heavier but will flex more). The differences in steels are more subtal, but I can often tell the difference. Then, as others say, the finishing hone, the strop, your skin, your lather, your prep, your technique and lots of other factors all come together and affect how good any given shave will be. Shaving with the same razor/lather/strop two days in a row will yield two different shaves. Your shave even changes during the course of a single shave. Even a single pass.
When all the factors add up correctly, you can get a mind-numbing, face-invigorating shave from any shave ready razor; different combinations work with different consistancy for different people. You just have to find what works for you. ...And then continue with your AD's as you hunt for something better. ...And then continue to improve your various techniques as you get better.
