Thread: Why is this razor magic?

Why does this rather ordinary Wester Bros. "Extra Hollow Ground" shave so well?

It will take off whiskers which I can only cleanly shave with other razors(with difficulty) ATG.

It is a much sharper than other hollows and it hones more easily and holds an edge longer.

This Wester Bros. is a world apart from two different Filarmonicas tried. It is sharper than the Henckels I have worked on.

A small short Genco which is a swayback smiler has been the easiest razor for me to ATG but this Wester Bros. gets closer.

Torreys have been a favorite of mine but the best of them won't get this sharp and Torreys don't seem to hold their edge well.

Wester Bros. imported cutlery and razors from Germany and Wester Bros. knives take and hold a very fine edge.

Does anyone else get similar results?
