Thread: Hart or Revisor

I'm sure both razors shave great, so it's really down to which one looks better to you. Personally, I think Hart razors look clunky, so from a purely aesthetic standpoint I'd pick the Revisor. However, that's just my opinion.

Perhaps if you have a stable of mostly 1/2 hollow to full hollows, you could go for the Hart just for variety.

You can't go wrong with either. For me personally, I would go with the Hart simply because it's hand crafted here in the USA & you actually get the personal touch of the maker's initials...but if you have that 8/8 calling, it will always be calling until you answer the call. As far as looks, the Hart is a bit more utilitarian where the Revisor is a bit more elegant IMO. It's your dough you are plunking down, so go with what you "want" and "fits" your taste as they will both provide excellent shaves. The Revisor will need to be honed & the Hart comes shave ready IIRC.

Please take what I say very seriously. I never owned a Hart Razor so I cannot comment on them. I only know what has been posted about them.

However, I have 4 Revisors, three of which are pictured her. When properly honed and stropped, there is no better shave on the planet than with a Revisor razor. Many will agree.

If you have a yen for a Hart, get one. If you want a guaranteed great shave, get a Revisor. Either way, a properly honed and stropped blade is what you need. It really doesn't matter whose name is on it. I can't be more succinct than that.

Happy shaving.............
