Thread: razor preference evolution

I started heavy in Sheffield steel, added some U.S. blades, and sold the U.S. blades because I simply favor the Sheffield razors. W&B, Wostenholm, Joseph Elliot, etc.

I tend to go for either 6/8 or 7/8 carbon steel razors. I do have a Dovo 5/8 stainless I bought new but I did not care for the shaves I got from it. To much blade torsion on my coarse beard. I'm a big guy too and the little 5/8 felt to small in my hand. I bought one of John C's 7/8 Dorko's around the Holidays and that is rapidly becoming my go to razor. A real bear to hone but once I got it dialed in she stay's there along time.
