Thread: Some razors better shavers?

Very frequently, when a group starts touting online the virtues of some particular razor as their favorite the traffic in those razors multiplies and the exponentially minded appraisals of Ebay result in foolish runaway price increases.

There seems to always be some vaunted "magic" razor brand bringing high prices based more on demand fueled by speculation than function.

It isn't good practice as a result of these factors to post "lists" of good razors anymore than it is good practice to post your interest in a currently available auction item.

Do some research...........pay attention to what others keep in their rotations. Surf the shave of the day thread. Also check out the razors to avoid list on SRP.

It is akin to a travel writer expounding on the virtues of his latest out of the way destination discovery........which soon isn't so out of the way.

Buy some inexpensive razors explore and then return here to tell us the about the "magic razors" you have found.

I had a Joseph Elliot razor I test shaved completely...shaved fine...something about it didn't agree with my face...it was a 7/8 probably from 1850's...it was a heavy blade...but even compared to my full wedge...felt "not right" somehow...tough to explain
