Hello all,
This is my first post outside the beginners section but, I noticed something the other day and wondered if I could find the answer here. I have 2 razors. One I bought brand new, a Cyril R Salter "Timor" and the other I bought on eBay 2 weeks ago. The second one is an old English one by Thomas Turner and is called "The Favorite". Now, once I received my Thomas Turner I sat down and compared the two. I was looking at the overall size of the blades and scales etc. Just looking for the differences. The one thing I did notice was that the Thomas Turner felt heavier. Anyway, for no particular reason, I tapped the edge of one with the spine of the other and then vice versa. The sounds were completely different. When I tapped the Cyril R Salter I got a tinny sound and when I tapped the Thomas Turner, I got a dull sound, almost like tapping a piece of lead. Why is this??? By the way, the old Thomas Turner gives a better shave!
Thanks in advance
Pete
