Thread: Vintage Vs modern straight razors

Hollow ground. Suited my friend fine but he was looking for something even better. Feels horrible with my skin and hair.
The other was custom made to order by me, reflecting my taste for vintage blades in several aspects. It is absolutely perfect in every way but one : bit too noisy as a wedge for my taste.

I might be having trouble inserting images. I hope the image is there. The two razors are the one with the black scales and the one with the yellow scales. The black one is the Wostenholm.
