    They are pre-ban Orc bones.

    I have found faux orc and brimstone to be as fine a razor and a renewable resource as well.
    YMMV
    It just keeps getting better

    People can be better shavers but their preferred razor can be a totally subjective choice.

    I find that the size of a razor has a lot to do with it's shaving abilities, (mostly scale size). Some of the bigger ones are awkward to hold and I believe they affect the outcome of the shave, IMHO.

    I think Lynn said it best a couple of years ago, he said that most razors fall into the 90 -100% range, meaning they are all good, some are better but only by slight degrees. It would also depend on user skill and technique as well as honing.

    I believe it's like all tools, if I know I'm using a top of the line tool I will try to adapt to the tool.
    A failure is all because of my substandard technique and there is nothing to gain blaming the tool.
    That's why I love good tools, they force me to learn.
