Back to razors - I don't want to start a flame war, but have been wondering about the "goodness" of expensive razors. I have had fun finding < $20 razors on the bay, restoring, honing and getting great shaves from them.

Without question TIs and expensive custom razors are aesthetically beautiful and if it pleases you to own them -great, but do they really shave better than an equally well honed Genco or Shumate? After all, the only thing that shaves you is the edge.

Just wondering.
