I really like the vastness of information and views on this forum, and I respect an individuals right to like any razor for any reason he (or she I guess), has. Because I am new to this, when I like a razor I try to figure out why. And likewise when I don't particularly like a razor, the same, why? For me this is part of the fun. I've never understood the devotion to the Hart razor. No, I haven't shaved with one. (This shallow post is about aesthetics, not steel, I'm sure the Hart razors are awesome shavers). I did finally get a one word answer to this question of why they don't do it for me: CURVES. I realized I like curves in razors....in the scales, lots of them, maybe I even like hyperbolic paraboloids, not sure if I do as I'm not sure what it is. A Hart razor looks to me like a razor that you would find in a Zen Monastery. I think my tendencies are more toward razors that you might find in a 20th century whorehouse.
